This accomplishes basically the same thing as a sequence structure or state machine for very simple sequences.

Make sure you've opened the solenoid outputs before your Auto runs - in the LV advanced framework you can do that in the Begin vi, and add the solenoid refs to the Robot Data cluster. Hope that helps.

Thanks Ron-

I had the students and the other mentor take a look at the note. They seemed to have an idea as to what it might be- but I'll just smile and nod and pull out the p-card....
