Re: Pistons not extending fast enough?
In addition to what everyone else has said, be sure that you test with 60 psi working pressure as mandated in the rules. Also, I suggest that you include a hard stop before the piston reaches the end-cap of the cylinder to prevent damage to the cylinder.
P.S.
Piston is the thing that moves, while cylinder is the entire actuator.
