Bimba Spring Supershifter Piston

So today we started making a universal test chassis for our programmers to implement on before and during competition. With these new spring loaded pistons, when you are extending the shaft, does a constant supply of pressure need to be added to the piston?

Meaning that when the piston is extended, is it still putting more air into it and having a constant charge to the compressor to keep it filled?
