Is it possible to shoot the ball with pneumatics?
My team has done some prototyping with some pneumatics to shoot the ball. We used a lever arm but it seem to never get as high as we would like so we have been trying to play with one v. two cylinders. Then I came up with the best way to wire the pneumatics to get the best performance. I haven't yet tested it out but I need help to see if it is even possible. I have attached a diagram for the system. One is the diagram for how its set up and the other is for the shooter. The red is the cylinders. Thanks!

Both might accomplish the same "function" or "results" (perhaps a lift of some kind), but there are clear differences in simplicity, in cost, in maintainability, extensibility, and several other "ilities" -- which are a staple of engineering evaluation criteria. - msd [more]
