Re: Quick Question

Another trick is to have gravity or a weak spring (think surgical tubing) return the cylinder, and only connect the pneumatic valve to one end of it, and plug the other output from the valve. This is how we made our fully pneumatic launcher actually be able to work, since we didn't calculate ahead of time how much air it would use.
