I am curious as to the details of your pneumatic setup, especially programming-wise. Were you using sensors, like MRS's or some such? Or were you timing the shifts?

Also, how were the shifts not predictable/repeatable? We have only experienced "coasting" so far, where the piston keeps moving a bit after solenoids close, as the tubes are filling with air. Did you have any different problems?

Thanks a bunch!
