Re: Vacuum Valve

In 2004 we used a vacuum & suction cup to pick up the ball. For a valve, we just used a servo & the tubing. We attached the tubing to the servo arm so that when the servo rotated, it kinked the tubing. Rotating back opened it up again. It was light, simple, and very effective, and lasted the whole season.
