Cross the Road Electronics is also going to have a CAN pneumatic device that will take care of the Compressor, Pressure Switch and 8 solenoids (12v OR 24v not both).

This is not good. The eight solenoid control really only allows for 4 solenoids, as the double solenoids require two channels to operate. With the relays it will allow for a total of 8 double solenoids. I know that 118 has used more than this in the past, and 236's bump thing used 8 just for their wheels, plus 2 or 3 more on the rest of the bot.
