Check out the IP610-60. I believe it should be relatively simple to integrate and very precise (especially compared to physically turning a pressure regulator!) if you have someone comfortable with programming and the control system.

I've not seen one of these in use before, but as far as I can tell in a quick rules check, they ARE legal pneumatic components AND legal electrical components for the 2010 FRC competition.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!
