Linear Shooters - How did you do it?

Just got our robot crate back. The FedEx driver told me he was watching the robotics competition online and asked how our team did. He knew about Team 27 and 469. We must be doing a great job in Michigan promoting FIRST if a FedEx driver watch FRC matches online and was excited talking about it. - Ed Law [more]

Linear Shooters - How did you do it?

My team experimented with a Pneumatic Piston Shooter similar to that of Simbotics but we barely got the ball to clear a 20cm (~8") barrier, let alone the overpass from 2-3 meters away....

How did simbotics or any other similar team make it effective?
(Was it even pneumatic?)

<edit>
Just noticed that Simbotics was not pneumatic - but how did it work?
did anyone manage a linear shooter with pneumatics?
</edit>

just curios...
