Re: Best place to get double solenoids?

We've used SMC and the Automation Direct solenoids (or a variant of that type anyway). Both work well but the question is what do you need. The SMC are small/light and more expensive (you can also buy from Vex Pro). The Automation Direct solenoids are significantly larger & heavier but cheaper. The Automation Direct solenoids also have significantly higher flow rates (I think CV is the measurement unit) which is useful for catapults.
