Thanks thats a good idea cause it takes us 6 minutes to charge all the tanks and we would love to use less of them. I'll mention it to the team

Trick is that you have to regulate upstream from the solenoid valve. Putting a regulator downstream from the valve can make strange things happen. So you'd basically have a bank of solenoids under 60psi pressure and all attached to the retract side of cylinders and a bank of solenoids under 15-20psi pressure all attached to the extend side of the cylinders.

Be careful about where the bottom part of your robot rests... Remember that if any part of your robot (including wheels or bumpers) is at or below the plane going across the TOP of the middle rung, you will only get 20 points. Make sure the whole robot is fully elevated so you don't get any unfortunate surprises at the competition!

The lowest part is about 2" over the middle rung
