I checked the instructions on the pneumatic robots kit and they have designs
that show three and two valves controling two cylinders. I will build these
models over the weekend (right now I am finishing up the Space Shuttle).

I will also try the diode. What do you think would be the best size?

Aha, yes, that should do it. Essentially a reversing switch
just like the Lego
pneumatic valve.

(...) I would think any diode that would handle 50V, 1.5A would work, which is most all diodes. James P (25 years ago, 9-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics)
