Is it legal, per rule <R74>, to use Bimba's 3 position cylinder, shown in the link below, on the robot this year? http://www.bimba.com/pdf/catalogs/FL...ne.pdf#page=67
2011FRC2484
GDC:
As long as <R74> is followed and "each commanded motion of a pneumatic cylinder is accomplished via the flow of compressed air through only one approved pneumatic valve" and these cylinders meet the requirements of <R66>, the cylinders are allowed.

So... Does that mean it' legal to use them, or not? Would a three-position valve have to be used, instead of 3 open-or-closed solenoids, to make it legal? Is there such a thing as a three-position valve? The GDC isn't cryptic on this one at all, are they?
Successful FIRST team members know they always can improve themselves, not just as a FIRST team, but as people who can offer something of value to society.
