I can tell you're a rookie team because they don't realize how long of a delay there can be with limit switches. By the time the brain signals the valve to cut off the air, the cylinder is most likely already fully extended. You could use a flow control to slow down the air. However, you would have considerably less force because the cylinder wouldn't be fully pressurized. Your best bet is a servo limit or an additional cylinder.
