Im sure some teams will be launching it the length of the field with pnuematics. (remember levers are your friend)
If I may ask, how did you have the pneumatics set up?
We had compressor -> two tanks -> regulator -> two tanks -> switch -> piston and the hit was rather wimpy. The piston was a 1.5" OD x 2" stroke. Thanks.
