I don't see speed being an issue though, and we're shooting for, I don't want to sound unrealistic as I suppose I don't really know exactly, but maybe around ~6 seconds? Five? I'll let you know as the weeks progress.
Just a suggestion/helpful hint.....A better way to slow down the cylinder actuation would be to use adjustable flow controls on the cylinders.
