We tried hitting the ball directly with several different sized pneumatic 3/4, 1, 1 1/8, 2 (4-6 inch strokes) and even a 3" diameter 1" stroke cylinders, which all seemed compatible with the volume of air storage allowed.

Under the best case, the ball had enough energy to roll the distance but not really enough to clear multiple ramps.

On dual acting cylinders we had the exit port wide open to be the best case.

We have a neat kicker concept but the pneumatics just wouldn't support it.
