Re: can we control the amount of air to control the speed of the cylinder?
Well technically you can't control the speed, but you can control the acceleration which gives you a little control over the speed. Here are some things my team discovered last year. By placing a needle valve (they have a small screw and locking ring and come in the KOP) on the venting end of the cylinder it will slow the cylinders extension based upon how fully closed it is.
If you want a cylinder to extend faster you must dump more air into by using multiple valves etc (see 39 last year).
Changing cylinder speed during a match would be more difficult, but is definitely possible.
