We have one piston on our robot.
Will putting the tanks in parallel provide more force?
Will putting them in series make the pressure last longer? And any other facts would be great.
Thanks.

I see 2 specific questions here. To which one is yours the correct answer?
His question was not about how to get air to flow faster. That was the question you answered, but that was not the question he asked. He has 2 tanks in his kit of parts and wants to know if it makes a difference how they are hooked up. Your information, although all very true and all very nice, didn't answer the question. And in fact, your answer "it depends", was wrong; whether to hook the tanks up in series or in parallel doesn't depend on anything. Hooking the tank up either in series or in parallel doesn't affect the force or make the pressure last longer. Period.
