That additional piston gives us the ability to adjust the trajectory further. Just by varying the pulse to the main catapult cylinders, we are able to make a relatively lofty truss shot and a pretty hard/flat high goal shot. The geometry of the arm for those shots doesn't work for the in-front-of-the-1pt-goal high goal shot, so we added another degree of actuation.
We did a few quick tests today that make a self caught shot over the truss look feasible using these additional pistons; it will be pretty neat if we can pull that off in a match!
