The only problem I see with these 35mm solenoids is the current. They momentarily pull 8 amps at exactly the same time the flywheel motors need extra current. This would definitely need to be a 3S LiPo project, wouldn't you say ? Yeah, current draw seemed like it'd be a problem; I was thinking "big-ass capacitor that can recharge while the spring is returning the piston". That's what the car stereo bro's do for their trunk-rattling subwoofers...
