This is not a programming problem. It is a physical issue. As described by Don, an pneumatic piston can only be fully out or fully in. There are ways to make it stop in, say, the middle, but they are not FRC accessible. You need special hardware to do it easily. Even with the pneumatic hardware we can use from the Kit, I don't even think it would be possible, much less just difficult, to hook up and control a piston in this way.
