See a pattern developing? This is a classic case of DIY t-shirt launcher.
By the way, thanks again for the inspiration Team Fusion!!!
After writing this response, I realized that 364 is from Gulfport, Ms. Are you guys alright down there?? Did your school and robotics stuff survive? Is there anything we can do to help you out?

No, I meant the pressure vessel. I'm not sure I'd want to build my own tank, but I'm sure it can be done.
