Re: How do I use the pneumatic Festo valves?
There were a lot of "issues" with the Festo valves last year. If you haven't already, I recommend reading some of the CD posts from 2008 on the topic. It may affect your decision to use them.

To the best of my knowledge, there never was a response from -- or corrective action taken by -- Festo or FIRST after the 2008 season. I really hope that whatever the root cause was it has been addressed in some way by someone. We have not yet attempted to use our Festo valve from the 2009 KOP, so I don't have any first-hand data.
