Re: Dual Acting Cylinder used as a single

One way to get the cylinder to go back is to connect it to one side of a solenoid and connect another (probably smaller) cylinder to the other solenoid output. That is how my team got our catapult from last year's game to come back. We did this because having the cylinder completely controlled with the solenoid created too much resistance. I would also recommend removing the tubing connectors that you will not need if you are trying to get it to move as fast as possible. No issues during inspections!
