Plumbing, Wiring, and Controlling a 3 Position Cylinder

1. What does the plumbing look like? I assume you need two solenoids, but their outputs cannot be plumbed together as per R89.

Quote:

R89
The outputs from multiple valves may not be plumbed together.

2. Controlling them, do you need reed switches? Do you need to track what position the cylinder is in?

3. Finally, can you share some neat implementations of 3 position cylinders on FRC robots?
