[sudo-discuss] air compressor and plasma cutter

[Jake]

BUMP

we got the plasma cutter working!  But the air compressor is still messed 
up.  We took it apart three times trying to fix the check valve, but it 
simply didn't work.

if someone orders this check valve, i'll put it into our air compressor 
and we'll be ready to use the plasma cutter with or without the robot!

if you order this, email me.  otherwise I might just go get one myself 
from home depot if they have it.
