By my calculations, your tank is ~ 9 gal, so you easily have the energy to get well over 10 good shots, it's just about how efficiently you use it.

Right now we haven't done anything with controlling the solenoid. its controlled with how long you hold the button. A really quick tap is all we use to fire at the moment. Later on we will hopefully be adding a way to control the amount of time the solenoid is open. This robot will be going through many changes as we learn and experiment with it!
