Remember you can only operate the pneumatics at 60 psi, even though the storage tanks can be at 120.
Maybe you are set up that way, but i just wanted to be sure.

Yes we had 120 in the two tanks we were using, but we did not release all of that at once. So to answer your question, I'd have to double check, but I think that we were operating the pneumatics at 60 psi.

Looks really good, the ball gets just the right amount of air in order to go over the bumps. I have a few questions:
How many cylinders are you using for the flapper, what diameter/throw is your team using?
Does the flapper stay within the 2 inches/2 second rule?
What type of material is your flapper, what thickness?

We are using one cylinder, and yes the flapper does stay within the 2inches/2seconds rule. Currently the flapper is made out of (roughly) 1/8" plastic material.
Hopefully there will be more progress today, and I'll have new videos on
