Brilliant idea on the 5gal bucket ramp and aluminum. What's the fastest speed you can load frisbees into your system and not drop any?
Also a pretty slick hanging mechanism - I like how it's integrated seamlessly into the rest of the robot.
Final question - are you still running 2wd? If so then might I suggest that you look into adding the other two CIMs?

Yes, we were using a 3 way solenoid valve. Not sure on legality of that so we subbed out a 2 way solenoid valve and tried that. It still worked.
We have not tested the speed with which we can enter frisbees. Will test that tomorrow. Thanks for the advice!!
We have a Technical College across the parking lot from our high school (so lucky!!! We know...). That cylinder is from their program. We ordered a similar cylinder from Bimba for our final robot. It's a little skinny but with the same stroke.
We are running 2wd. Each Cimple Box has 2 CIMs in it (so 4 total on DT).
Thank you so much for your questions and advice!!
