A 3/4 is good but our team really wanted a one inch. The school district is not allowing us to use CO2 Canisters of any type, they are already edgy on us making a tshirt cannon robot. I've having a lot of trouble finding a high pressure solenoid, so should we settle with a 3/4"?

Once again, thanks everyone for the feedback, but i need to identify a list of objects (Tank,Hose,Solenoid,Barrel) which could be all be strung together and put on a robot. we have 20 new members waiting on the design group to finish the model for this bot.

Thanks!
