No Dave, it's not a stupid question- it IS plugged into a Digital I/O connector.

I swear the OI disabled light is solid orange. If the robot wasn't crated I'd put a video up.

Could you, uhhh, kindly relate why the IO might be triggering it this way?

(Wired, from memory, from the student that told me this is how:

Digital IO pin 16 to SPIKE relay, relay to valve, vale to cylinder.
