Yes it was. And we are bagged and all the students have gone home.

But we ran into an interesting situation after we thought that we solved our problem. We actually had to set a value of the solenoid in the begin with a Solenoid Set VI. We didn't see that spelled out anywhere, but the "white arrow" (I tell the kids that's happy code) was displayed and with that code deployed we could repeatedly fire our shooter and grab for the end game. Both use double SMC Solenoids. Without the initial set, we could not consistently make either double solenoid reverse. Maybe this is spelled out somewhere but we missed that memo.

Thanks for all your help and I hope your bag day is going well.
