1) For 12v motors bought of the RoboChallenge site (http://www.robochallenge.co.uk/Events_a ... nical.html), what kind of speed controller would I need?
One that failsafes. Common recommendations are the Electronize, Sabretooth or Scorpion XXL. If it's really powerful, a (heavyweight designed) sidewinder.
2) How would I make a pneumatic flipper?
Bottle, regulator, safety valve, dump valve, solenoid valve, cylinder.
3) What is a good pressure level for a featherweight flipper? Maybe 10 bar?
Higher the better but the lower pressures have non custom & highly available components. Check the for sale board.
