Bridge reset

So tomorrow is our fist day of actual competition at the Long Island Regional and our original bridge reset plan did not work. We are now reorienting the pneumatics that were going to lower the bridge to get them to direct more force on to the bridge hoping that that would bet us able to push it down more successfully, My question is that I know very little about pneumatics and all I really need to know is where I can get the specifications on the pneumatics im using to do the math and find out if im getting enough force out of it.

Dont know if I made complete sense so ill just add the main points of what I need to find here:
-where can I look up the specifications of my pneumatics and find out how much force they are delivering?
-What is the minimum amount of force needed to lower the bridge?

-And if anyone has tested both of the following which one have you had more success with: An arm lowering the bridge, or a wedge coming down and then driving into the bridge
