Re: Optimizing Air Cannon Range

I'm still skeptical of unmodified sprinkler valves. That's a heck of a restriction in your system if you can avoid it. Energy spent making your robot honk is energy that's not getting transferred to your shirt. I will admit, however, that you might not have a better option before 10/20. As you'd guessed, a large chamber connected directly to your valve would be much much more efficient.
