It runs off a cRIO-II. We will be putting addressable LEDs on soon.

Really simple design and all we would have to buy is the barrel sprinkle valve and a water seperator(we are pretty close to the ocean and humidity is an issue) what barrel and tubing is that BTW.

We have 2 balloon time tanks that are filled but we can probably dump it all by making balloons for little kids.
