@risknc Aluminum

@liqrocket_uiuc Welding?

Just ordered $2,000 worth of fittings 😬

@risknc We just found cheat codes for fittings. Problem should be fixed

@liqrocket_uiuc Fittings be expensive. I picked up a random fist sized cylinder of metal at work one day: it was a broken fly away QD that cost $40k new

@ismailhozain Do they typically carry JIC?

@liqrocket_uiuc Locally they will be cheaper. Hose suppliers carry them. Make good friends with ur local hose house.

When we finish the test stand, we are going to inspire so many undergraduates at UIUC to pursue hard problems. Not to get a job, but because it's cool! If you want to support us, please donate to our GoFundMe page: gofund.me/4a2706e2

Why do hard things? Do you want to do hard things? What kind of engineers do we want to be?
