hey guys!
Basically I'm building an battle robot. For the weapon I'm planning to use flipper using a pneumatic system. I'm having some doubts regarding the usage of solenoid valves. I heard that there are two ways of controlling the solenoid valves. One is by using transistors through micro controllers and the other is by using relays. Since i want the bot to be remote controlled (RF Remote) I guess relay is the only option. I'm planning to buy this type of solenoid valve

There, they have two terminal options available, Which one should i choose and what are the differences between them? (Sorry for my noobishness)
What i want is when a button is pushed on a remote, the valve must be opened. For this type of arrangement what are the necessary circuits to be made and what type of relays must be used?
Can a local remote from an RC car bes used to control a relay?
thanks!
