You can find the manual at the FIRST Website (http://www.usfirst.org/robotics/2003/docs.htm). The kit comes with one actuator, and the "Restricted Hardware List" lists up to three more as permissible. That should allow for a total of four actuators.

Go to the FIRST web site and download the manual. Its pdf format

There is one piston in th ekit (I forget the size) and we get to order 3 more

In other words, you may use four pistons...

First provides the one tiny little piston and than you can buy 3 more pistons of any length up to 12'' and i think 2.5'' bore.

I don't think that's a "tiny little piston," myself, but that's just me.

In the 2003 Pneumatics Manual (http://www2.usfirst.org/2003comp/pneumatics_manual_2003.pdf), they indicate that the custom cylinders we are allowed to order (via the order form on the last page of the manual) range from 1/2" to 12" in stroke, at 3/4", 1 1/2" and 2" bores.
