Re: Run with solenoids from a spike

We could set the default position to up, but if it is down when the round ends, it will move back up when it is disabled or powered off.

I have an idea, if I put another solenoid just off the working end that will release all the air out of the working end the robot is disabled or shut off. It would plug up the storage so we wont lose our storage between rounds or demos.
There is a rule that says we cant use multiple solenoids to run a single cylinder, do you think that they would consider that against the rules?
