The pistons that launch the balls are allowed to fall by gravity-we only hooked the solenoids up to one side to save air.

The two pistons in the center tilt the launcher-it doesn't launch well at all without being tilted, and doesn't pick up the ball when tilted, hence the need to have 2 positions.
