Yes, in the game from 2 years ago when we used a similar pneumatic shooter design to launch the large ball over the scaffold we would sometimes get really bad shots and the ball would shoot short. This time we're having the robot do that intentionally in order to vary the distance it kicks.
In short, the amount of time the valve is open varies the amount of strength we use to make contact with the ball.
