Pneumatics Irregularity

We have pneumatic kicker on the robot. The problem is that it does not always kick the full distance. It goes back and forth on if it will actually kick the ball. One time we kick and it works, the next time it only fires half way.

We have removed the ball and watched it do the same thing. There is no change in the pressure from where it normally is. We have allowed time so that the pressure is at maximum, but we still see major problems.

We have replumbed the system in hopes of finding/ corrrecting a leak.
We have tested all of the solenoids separately to see if there is a problem with one of them.

We don't know where to look past that.

If anyone has any suggestions of what to try next, they would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
