Using a Solenoid in a Pneumatic Cannon

Do not worry about the VEX camp versus FIRST camp issues. It is a huge marketplace. It is only about 4% penetrated. There is room for everyone. And competition is good for the consumer. - ebarker [more]

Using a Solenoid in a Pneumatic Cannon

Our team was thinking of making a T-Shirt launcher as something to do during off-season. Can a solenoid open and close fast enough to keep decent amount of air pressure left in an air reservoir? We will be using the solenoid provided in the 2011 KoP. Also, if you have made a T-Shirt cannon in the past, how much air should we keep reserved?
