I thought you might have been talking about combining two switches to reduce
the off zone:

or eliminate it:

Doug Carlson came up with the geometry for the “no off”. I modified it to
reduce the off zone.

That is seriously sweet--little to no off for the cylinders...
Iain was talking about this, though:
In the pick you can see the motor driving the differential--spin it one way,
it operates one valve--spin the diff. the other way, it operates the other
valve--works very nicely.
THere are touch sensors which register the valve arm at the top of the swing.
When I was building LOR...

I incorporated 4 sets of these motorized units (8 valves) into LOR and with
prelim. testing, they work great.

I like LOR. My two favorite LEGO topics: pneumatics and bipeds.
I’m working on a similar pneumatic walker, but all the timing will be controlled
by pneumatics. No need for RCX. One leg stays weight bearing while the other
leg recovers to the front. Then we switch weight to the other leg, which stays
weight bearing while the other leg recovers.
Most of the mechanisms are there.... Knees don’t bend enough. Transfering
weight and maintaining balance is the nasties part. What a suprise.
