Autonomous failure
So after our first competition I badly want to get our autonomous mode going due to never really getting a good grasp on autonomous running correctly.

We have our shooter (on a victor) I want to power up, wait 2-3 seconds then fire a frisbee via pneumatic cylinder which takes about 2 seconds to fully force the frisbee to the wheels (its slow for some reason but I'll live with it after seeing teams shoot 3 in 5 seconds).

I am using a flat sequence. I have attached the part of the VI (I think). When we startup autonomous mode the robot the shooter motor spins up, then cycles the valve a split second not fully extending the cylinder to eject the frisbee. Can someone help me figure out whyats going on?
