Re: 11th Hour Question about pneumatic catapult piston arrangement

Our team has the same 2-pistons quasi-parallel to arm setup that the previous post mentioned though we have slightly less range and height.

I don't have any pictures of our setup offhand, but if your interested I might be able to dig up a few.

It's worth noting that our design requires a high flow solenoid in order to get enough power to the pistons in order to make a shot. If you don't have any, a work around would be to have one solenoid feed to each piston and have them fire simultaneously in code.
