Of course, BIMBA does make cylinders with two types of internal bumpers so that they can tolerate this sort of use, but FIRST does not allow the. With some trickery we have gotten a ball to a cylinder to launch a ball at 8m/s, with plans to go higher in an entirely FIRST legal setup. It can be done.
