Looks like a 3/4" bore, 8" stroke. The build team could verify. However, they are also using surgical tubing to help balance the weight of the arm when extended.
Eagle Robotics (team358.org) has the most comprehensive FRC resources I've found. There is a great paper on pneumatics on this page.

Good luck with your rookie season!

In FIRST, there's no such thing as too many 1/4-20 bolts, too many bottles of caffeinated beverage, and too much knowledge from others. - Billfred [more]
