Go to Post What I learned from week-1 is that once again my son has been inspired to the level that he came home after the BAE Systems Granite State FIRST Robotics Regional Competition with the biggest smile I have seen on his face for a long long time. I am truly grateful for that. - FIRST_Parent [more]

Re: Solenoid Control Valve Question

It may be helpful to move the solenoid valve up close to the inlet port and have the air storage tank directly before the solenoid. Also, try using an open return port and use a rubberband to return the cylinder. Use a single solenoid or close off the ports on the double. Using a smaller diameter cylinder will increase the velocity of the actuation and using an open exhaust port allows for the freeflow of air on actuation. Hope this helps.
