Recycling Pneumatic System

Don't be afraid to use more than one regulator to set each circuit to the pressure it needs. I've even plumbed the return on a cylinder to be lower than the main actuation pressure. You may also consider using gravity or springs to return cylinders, almost halving air consumption for that mechanism.

Fire,
Up to this point one way valves have not been legal on FRC robots. You can ask the question on the Q&A though. One way valves or "check valves" may not allow all air to be vented to atmosphere when the ball valve is opened.

We are trying to wire a bimba MRS-.087-B. The wire coming from the roboCRIO has 3 wires (red,white,black) but the bimba MRS switch has a black and red wire. Can someone help us wire it?

The Bimba MRS-.087-B is a magnetic reed switch that wires to the signal and ground pins on the DIO of the roboRIO.
