I know covid has probably made it hard to work on a side project, but is this still moving along

So sorry for being MIA.
I was locked out of CC and couldn't get in anymore and was unable to reset my password.
I couldn't remember my password and found that during my last password change I let my browser make a password and it somehow didn't save it.
Long story short I found my randomly generated password today lol
Anyway this project is still underway.
The magnetic clutch system needs to be reworked because the part I made was way to small and demagnetised the magnets by acidentally touching them with a soldering iron.
I am making the coupler a lot bigger now so it shouldn't be a problem.
Unfortunately I still have not been able to test the valve again since the latest update but it looks promising.
Will ge a test done hopefully this weekend.
I made a new front 5 way solenoid as well which will be tested soon and the Board is also alomost complete.
My priorities are:
Valve
Front solenoid valve
Board
Frame
Eyes
Kit
Instant pro player just add paint!
Keep kickin its ass man.
Still looking forward to it.
Still waiting with patiently and very excited. Good things come to those who wait. I’ll take two when they are ready.
Hey guys another update,
I had the last prototype since July untested.
As you may know I am staying in Germany at the moment and a Paintball Marker is considered a firearm.
One of my prototype markers is technically illigal because it is missing the F-stamp which means I can only go to fields I trust, which is another issue.
I can only shoot it when I am at the field, shooting outside of a shooting range is illegal in Germany even when it's your own backyard and a paintball gun.
Due to corona all the fields in my area are closed and have been for a while.
They were open for a short while October but I didn't make that weekend I said I was going to test and the following weekend they shut all the fields again.
Between Germany's stupid gun laws and Corona I am unable to test this valve that has been lying on my table since July.
On the plus side I am reworking the design of the valve which will now also include a pressure relief valve to protect the solenoid from higher pressures.
I am sorry this has been taking so long. But I think this whole year has been a mess up for everyone.
EDIT: Oh and I also had Corona which knocked me out for a good month... completely forgot about that lol
