Re: pneumatics bumper not working

Most of solenoids we're using have 12VDC written on them. I think most if not all of them are more than two years old, and I thought the 24v solenoids were only introduced in 2010. I also thought the 24v ones were shaped like rectangles and were hard to get mixed in.

If I try setting them to 24v anyway, what would happen? Catastrophic things? (I'm not at all planning to try this, but I am curious).

Anyway, thanks for your help. We've resolved to put the spikes on the robot for tomorrow, but I'll definitely be looking at this problem again in the future. It would be a good tool to have for next year.
