we were considering the springs but will FIRST allow?
is it safe? Cocking 3 springs before the match??

Pneumatics; how much force required??

Actuators; what kinds are allowed??

what are your inputs??

First, those linked actuators are definitely NOT allowed. The only legal types are described in Section 8.

Springs--definitely watch the safety. If those things are deemed unsafe, you won't be able to do anything with them.

Pneumatics--I'm not sure about the force you'd need.

As for your ideas, how about having your team discuss those? One of them might stand out to your teammates.
