Re: How does your team wire your Double Solenoids?
I think that we just ran all of our negative leads from solenoids to ground, then hooked the positive leads to the spikes. So with one double solenoid you would run both negatives to ground, then connect the positive sides to opposite sides of the spike. Then by putting the spike one way you can make it go one way, then putting it the other you make it go the other.

Disclaimer: That is what I think we did. I helped wire it last year and I remember for sure that there were no diodes anywhere, and we have not had any problem with it ever, but I dont remember if that was exactly what we did.
