Exclamation Re: Optimizing Air Cannon Range

Hope to have the robot robot reprogrammed during school tommorrow but this valve just came in today. The local area Parker sales representative was willing to help our our team so that we can take our tee shirt cannon modified robot to a minor league baseball game.
Quote:
I will be glad to donate an N series valve to your project.

The part number I come up with is a N3157104545. This is a 2 way NC
(Normally non passing) 12VDC coil with 1" ports.
I plumbed it in this afternoon and a manual test sounds impressive with an immediate blast of air at the full 100 psi. Will post some video as soon as the programming is done and we can capture the new and improved version of the cannon in action.
