One thing I have to ask... did you have access to street elbows? I've become addicted to them, as they keep everything nice and compact 8) I like the triggering setup!! The bondo piston is especially neat! (People like me don't have the patience for that!!) Very cool build! I have a similar golfball...

Usually ABS isn't pressure-rated, but I believe it is easier to get pressure-rated ABS in colder areas due to the fact that PVC gets brittle at low temperatures. Be ready to shell out the $$....

I did actually try that once with a piece of tennis ball, but oddly enough, the bumper would get pushed back into the QEV :shock: and I would have to open the thing up and yank it out with pliers :D You definitely have the right idea though... I've gotta think of something... Taking that thing apart...

I would NOT mess with your computer like that... There can be many problems, and it's hard to get it to work properly. I got my router for free, just ask around and I bet you'll come up with something. Old folks are your best bet because they often get rid of things they don't need that are invaluab...
