: You are right to be concerned. However there is a solution right in the box with the other pnuematic stuff. It's called a pilot operated check valve. Used properly it will cause a single solenoid valve to act like a double.

With what do you operate the pilot? The other single valve? The list of valves is pretty short to start with. And there’s only one pilot operated check valve in the kit.

The assortment of components in the pneumatics kit is tempting, but the limited number of valves severely constrains what you can do. To justify adding the weight of the compressor, tanks, etc. to your robot, it would be nice if you could do more than one or two things with it.
