Go to Post Engineering fundamentally comes down to problem solving, and if the students can't get excited and inspired by the problem solving process because someone has spoon fed them a solution, then nobody wins. Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime. - kevinw [more]

Re: pic: 1939's Pneumatic Manifold with Hat

Consider the cases where you may need to access the solenoids to hit the orange buttons to actuate something when the robot is not on, but the system is pressurized. A common case is when the robot needs to be put on the cart, but a pneumatic extension is 'out' and thus preventing us from putting it on the cart.

With that said, I really like this a lot. I'll point my electronics team to it to see if they want to consider something like it since they've yet to finalize the location for our manifold.

You should always release pressure before moving the robot, but we did take this into account. We have thought carefully about what pistons should be on single solenoids and which on double solenoids. Anything on a single solenoid will have its pre-match configuration as it unpowered default, so that the robot will shrink when disabled.

Thanks for the feedback!

Are those CAN connectors? Those are nice, mind divulging where one may acquire some?
