Re: 399's ramp release.

Yeah, we plan to use the dual action solenoid to pull the pins, one for each side. We tried using servos but the way we had it rigged currently the servo didn't have enough power to pull it (I hooked it up through a vex controller, still uses 7.2v batteries and everything). Although the solenoid is heavier than the servos, it will more than likely be more reliable.
