Re: Programming Autonomous pneumatic kicker

Is it possible to get your phone number to explain to you better how it works? If not well:
number 6 is wrong and there are only 2 solenoids
the one in the front retracts after the cylinder in the back comes back out

in teleop:
1. Button #3 is pressed - back cylinder is cocked back and turns on relay 1
2. After relay 1 shows that the back cylinder is cocked back, the front cylinder goes forward and grabs the kicker
3. relay 3 on the front cylinder than shows that the kicker is ready to shoot
4. Button #1 is pressed - back cylinder shoots out and turns on relay 2
5. After relay 2 is on, front cylinder pulls back, releasing the kicker

(however we have not actually tested it but what we have on the computer, logically should work (we think)) ://

During teleop we are just going to guesstimate if the ball is in the right position and than kick

but in autonomous, we want to use a timer
and yeahh~
