Re: Pneumatics...

FIRST publishes a Pneumatics Manual every year to get you started.

We have some pneumatic guides posted on our website to help. The Pneumatics Step-By-Step (for the cRIO Controller) has code examples.

The Fluid Power Educational Foundation has some training information.

Here's a Pneumatic Power Concepts presentation done by Raul Olivera at the Championships in 2008.

A big issue is getting yourself some fittings to use with the tubing. They are essential parts that haven't been supplied in the KOP for the last couple of years. We had a rookie team visit us last night to pickup some fittings, so they could get their pneumatic system up and running.
