Re: Anybody having any luck finding pneumatic valves??!?!?

McMasterCarr has some nice SMC valves. Probably a little more expensive than if you found another source for them, but at least they're quick. Plus you can get the mating manafolds for them also. Page 976 on MMC.

Make sure you order the ones that have the correct ratings as per <R72> Section C

RC to the rescue

Also watch your voltage if you're going to mix and match solenoids. Unless you have the extra weight for another NI Module to run 12v and 24v on the same robot. The MMC ones I mentioned in my previous post are 24v DC.

Or you could run the 12v valves on spikes.

Really?

I wish Festo had more of these valves. I do like them more than the old valves. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how many valves are going to available?

You might want to ask your local teams if they are going to use the ones that came in their kits
