You don't think that you can make an electromagnet powerful enough to get that ball AT LEAST as far as pneumatics can? And I'm genuinely wondering. I haven't actually seen a solenoid other than those for pnumatics.


Also, are there rules preventing you from stepping up the voltage and using a big capacitor to store for a pulse?
