Re: Larger bore actuation speed
When we were testing a piston launcher we had the same issue and to fix it we only plugged one side into the solenoid and left the other side of the piston open.
Edit: We retracted it with rubber bands

I'm not sure about the rules on having only one side connected so I would double check that.

Also we were using the higher flow rate solenoids mentioned above. And I think we were shooting from 3 feet off the ground and at the outerworks.
