Did the 24volt Festo valves ship in the kit of parts? I thought I saw something that they weren't shipping till Feb 9th. If we received one, our kids mist it in the kit of parts and we cant find it. If we need to buy one anybody know how much they are?

This is only our second year. I know in prior years there were other brands of solenoid valves. What were they? Are they better than the Festos? Are they still legal? If they are better where can I get some?

Thanks

I made a post about to get the 08/09 SMC Solenoids:

If I remember correctly,. the valve was one of those 'separate' parts, not actually inside a crate. I may be mistaken.

They are about $100 discounted, so losing it can be a teachable moment for the team - don't let the opportunity get wasted.

As for what's legal and where to get more, The Manual explains exactly what defines a legal solenoid valve. SMC and Festo are the brands used in the past (I am partial to SMC), but the rules allow for any one that meets The Manual's definition.

I know that ours came late. It could be because we are an international team with VERY strict customs. I don't know if it came in the veteran KoP, or just the rookie version, but you can check that in section 10 of the game manual.
