Quiz & Conclusion
This method is commonly used to protect the hands of operators
operating dangerous machines. The machine only starts when both
activate buttons are pressed almost simultaneously (within 0.2
seconds).

This has to be done with the left and right hand.

The machine stops immediately if one of the buttons is released.
Create a control program to repeatedly actuate the press cylinder
while still complying with the safety requirements detailed above.
Two keyboard keys will be used as starter buttons for checking the
solution.
