I also like the sheer accessibility your electronics board has. The orientation, as well, looks like less back pain from spending so much time hunched over 90 degrees to look at one.
On a final note, I'm noticing this more in your elevator than others, have you ever tried blocking a thrown tube with it? It looks like the "wall" that extends up might just be able to do such a task.
You are exactly correct! McMaster part number 9888k9, holds 1 Gal or about 231 inch^3, which is 7 times that of the KOP tank. We are running a massive 2/24inch cylinder that powers the main lift so we need the air.

Yes, even though that wasn't necessarily what I was thinking about when I put it there... it is convenient to access and we never had a problem with it being damaged during game play.
That is an interesting game idea, we haven't thought of it. I guess it could work if we parked right in front of the lanes. Though I am not sure if would be considered GP in game play.
