Position control of pistons with simple solenoids

[MrForbes]

wow, I'd like to see a team implement that! It might be rather challenging, though. We like to use pneumatics on stuff that needs to be in either of two positions, not in between. We like to use motors for things that need to be put in different positions...although we'd rather make our machine so it only needs things to be in one position or the other, if possible.

My guess is that you probably won't get good results using the method in the paper, as it probably requires you to modulate the pneumatic solenoids in a way that is difficult to do with our FRC control system. But I could be wrong.
