Joystick button to trigger pneumatic kicker?

Help!

Of course the robot wiring was completed at the last minute and the programmers only had about an hour to check there code. The good news is that most of there code worked flawlessly. The bad news is our pneumatic kicker did not operated as planned AND we shipped our robot yesterday so we can't debug the code.

Can someone look at our pneumatics program so we can determine if the error is our program and/or wiring before we get to our regional next week?

Specifics:

The compressor came on but the solenoid did not fire when the button was pressed.

We are using three double acting cylinders w/ three solenoids.

We want the cylinders retracted when the button is not pressed (this is what we think the false case should cause it to do).

We want the cylinders to extend when the button is pressed (this is what we think the true case should cause it to do).

Thanks- Any help would be appreciated.
