Go to Post To think that one can "learn" engineering in 6 weeks while under the strain of building a robot too is proposterous. FIRST isn't about teaching. It's about inspiring. - Collin Fultz [more]

That would be the nature of using an analog sensor on a digital input, less than the trip point typicaly 1 volt is off more than 2 or 3 is on. The only uses I could see for the Analog sensor would be to rush the on point of the system say when pressure drops to 110 get the compressor running and use the other switch on to cut off at 120, or to sense the "load" in a lower pressure part of the system to cut off the air supply to a piston when the "grip" reaches some point this eats more valves but gives you a measure of back force for the controler.
