Steve is right. Chad, what you describe is not a legal use of pneumatics, and will not pass inspection. It's kind of unfortunate, but it's good that you still have time to come up with a new solution.

Re: Ball Knocker Advice

to nock the ball off make an H out of pvc that flips up before you get to the overpass then just drive under the ball and the ball falls off

Re: Ball Knocker Advice

we can knock the ball down by extending the top of our elevator up to about 6' 5" and just run under the ball and it just pops right out

Re: Ball Knocker Advice
