Yes, the switches would need to remember their last set state. Ideally,
this would be done through the use of electric pneumatic switches which,
when not receiving any power, simply stay in the last position they were
set in. If this isn't practical then yeah... electronics would need to
be hooked up to keep the switches in their last set state.
