Fortunately you don't have to continuously hurdle, you pretty much have to make a 10 to 15 second or more lap between hurdles. Which seems to be plenty of time for the compressor to catch up.

Of course we're only planning on having to move about a pound or two of metal up about a foot to shoot, the ball has to move the rest of the way on it's own!
