adjustable pressure regulator
We're planning to have maybe three kicking distances using pnuematic pistons and a level kicker. We would like to vary the kick power using a adjustable pressure regulator.

The plan would be to set the master regulator to 60psi and the downstream regulator would be for adjustment for the kicker. Has anyone done this before? I was thinking to get another regulator and attach it to one of those window motors with an encoder to monitor the position of the knob. However this seems way to complicated. I would like to find a simpler way.

Thanks for your time!
