Re: Solenoid Recommendations

So our 2014 bot lessons learned... Automation Direct high flow solenoids. Also, you probably want to use Single Solenoids and the pistons should only have the shooting direction hooked up to a solenoid. The returning direction should not be pressurized. To return the catapult to the starting position, gravity is used. This reduces the amount of backpressure/resistance when shooting.
