All: Got gun elevation done. Got the magazine air assist and trigger sequencing automated. (you command a paintball to fire and it pulls the trigger then blasts air down the magazine to feed the next ball.)

This is the first time the system was tested with the automated timing. It worked great, but sucked a lot of air 120 shots for a tank (63 cubic inch, 3000 PSI). I can adjust air pulse duration and pressure. When I get more paintballs, i'll try and optomize air useage. I can still switch to a 68 cubic inch 4500, psi tank.
