Pneumatics sensors?

Still...Why? Unless you were trying to somehow regulate air pressure, perhaps by bleeding off air to drop pressure so you could get a "lower power" cylinder output or something, what is the benefit of having real-time pressure on your dashboard? I'd want the pressure to always be at maximum...and would design my storage system so it never drops below that during a match.

Many variables such as bore, stroke, number of pistons actuated simultaneously, number of storage tanks, etc. can drastically change how long it takes to get back up to working pressure. We added extra storage tanks to test some ideas and it takes a lot longer to get up to working pressure. In order to be consistent you would not want to shoot if your compressor was on and you hadn't fully charged up yet. With a pressure transducer your software could look at the condition and wait, or your driver could look at the custom dashboard and make a decision.
