Re: Have you ordered extra solenoids?
I am struggling with the same issue. I have given up on Festo since I read somewhere that they are out of stock of the one they provide to FRC teams only. I have narrowed down to SMC SY3000 series and will probably get it from Motion Industries or Fastenal. I spent hours looking on SMC's website and learned more about solenoid valves than I care to know at this point. I am still not sure which one I should get. There are many, many choices. I will call SMC tomorrow and see if someone can help me. If not, hopefully somebody at Motion Industries can help me choose.

If there are any teams out there who used SMC's solenoid valve before or know where to get them from, please post part number and vendor name here.
