Re: Linear Actuators
I can only think of one time in FRC I used a electric solenoid and that was 2012 when we designed our basketball elevator to no be able to allow the basketballs into our shooter until the solenoids were engaged then applying a clamping force on the outer wall of our elevator.
Let's just say that design worked....but the solenoids we had to use were absolutely terrible and ended up overheating and all sorts of things after continuous use during practice. That was because of the power limit among other things.
