PM me if you want more info/pictures

All thanks go to Brian from 2791 for introducing this to me
We did the same thing for our intake this year. We used a 6" and 4" cylinder mounted together to end up with a four position cylinder with 10" of stroke that when both are retracted is no longer than a 6". We retract the 6" to extend the intake to shoot and retract both the 4" and 6" to fully extend for pickup. You can see them in action in our reveal video.

Edit: should have read the second page. Looks good!
