Can you wire 2 pneumatic rams to one solenoid?

We want to wire 2 rams to one solenoid to accomodate another solenoid on our cRio; is it allowed in the rules to connect 2 rams to one solenoid?

Assuming by "rams" you mean air cylinders, yes you can do this. If they are working together, this will ensure they move in sync.

If. You want to run them in sync, remember to have the same length of hose on each cylinder.
