R.I.P. Bryce may you show GOD the beautiful hobby of spudding

GOD Bless

I really like being able to visually see where everyone that chooses to place a marker is located. At least now I know that I'm not alone with this hobby in Michigan. Nice idea SpudFarm.

I think it can take at least 150psi and was hoping for atleast 400-500 fps
want to feed from regulated hpa source ideally then use a 555 timer to run the solenoid

Also was thinking air ram for the bolt setup

So then this valve is balanced. Huh seems like more people would scale this up and use it.
