Re: How to use a solenoid on a robot?

@CalTran
Do you know of any FIRST team that's used a solenoid not on pneumatics? I was studying my team's robot from Logomotion, and while the gripper worked nicely, I think it could have been improved. I looked up solenoids and found they LOOk like they could be perfect for the job. However, our team generally tries to stay away from pneumatics unless there is a very good reason to do so. If this is the time, though, I would be open to it.
