Re: festo vavle prob

Add us to the list of teams who got a bad Festo directly out-of-the-box this year. Last year's Festo works properly. If the SMC had the same Cv as the Festo then we'd switch over completely -- but alas, it doesn't.

Re: festo vavle prob

When you are working with the Festo Solenoids given in the kit the trick is that they only switch off when the spike is in Neutral and they will do exactly the same thing when they have current going through them no matter what the direction. You may notice that when you turn your robot off or put it in program state they do what they were not doing before hand.

They may be a bit of a pain to disconnect tubing from but if you are careful with them and know how to use them they are very reliable and can save you weight and air over the SMC doubles.

Hope this helps

-Simon
