Re: 2 FESTO valves on 1 spike
I'm also on team #1671.

We are using 2 values becuase we need fast airflow. From what I've been told 2 festo valules will allow faster airflow than 1 with a T. Also, with the T adapter, one piston could take more of the airflow if the other has more resistance on it. We need them to move equally at the same time.

We are mainly curious as to how much draw the values have when in use.

I will try to see if the T is a valid option on our robot.
