I can almost guarantee that there will not be a successful robot that uses one giant piston for this reason: You are extremely limited to the amount of air that you can get into a giant piston by tubing and fitting size, not even accounting for valve size.
That being said, I believe that it will be possible to use multiple smaller pistons to launch the ball at a decent rate.
