    Awesome post! Any new success stories to share? Looking like I will be building one of these guys in the near future once my bot has arrived home. Huge thanks to Gary, Brady, and Daren! DXF files look great and very helpful.

    Thomas...
    If you look at Thread page #2, Post #53, I posted that in the long run, and mostly due to weather and spoilboard condition, the "automatic" switching of the second set of vac motors was determined as being very unreliable. I suppose with a digital vac switch and a small processor, you could make a system that followed the moving target of initial vacuum setting. As stated there, the vast majority have either built with, or switched over to manual second stage vac switches.

    Good luck & post pics when done.

    Andrew..
    You are welcome, but I had the easy part. Those before me laid all the groundwork.
