Hey guys...

This is Brandon Crader from FRC Team 1778 from Mountlake Terrace, WA. We are building a t-shirt launcher, and we have run into a conflict. While building, we realized that we dont have enough pnumatic compressors. So, we were wondering if somebody could sell us one of the two pnumatic compressors that come standard with the FRC kit each year.

I don't believe we have any available, but you may have better luck by posting a request in CD swap.

Just get a commercial one, chances are you'll find a better one for cheaper.

Homedepot is a place to start. I'm not too sure about dc durrent though.

I think we have some lying around. I'll be out of town at the end of this week, but I'll see what we can do about getting one to you.

If you do have one, it would be nice to get it in under a week and a half or so because we have a deadline.

Do you need a compressor or a storage tank? These both are very different items.

Yeah, looking back at your post you said one of two compressors in the kit this year. We only got one. If you mean the tank, I would get a different one with larger air flow than 1/4" tubing. I tried this and it did not work.

Here's (http://search.harborfreight.com/cpisearch/web/search.do?keyword=12v+compressor&Submit=Go) a cheap little 12V compressor. Here's (http://www.amazon.com/Q-Industries-MV50-SuperFlow-Compressor/dp/B000BM8RT8) a bigger much better one. On this one you'll want to drill and retap the non-standard thread in the head to 1/4 NPT. Here's (http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=41712) an air tank. Hope this helps.
