Outside, in the real world, I had actually designed a system for controling
stroke of an air cylinder. It was a pressure valve which increased the
pressure on one side of the cylinder, and increasing it slowly on the other.
It was used to position components on a linear robotic assembly line. It was
a very nice "soft" start and end, and worked much like a joystick. The air
tanks worked only as a plenum, and it was a closed system.
Now to make the same with Lego....
