ThinBot: Rebuild (nearly complete!)

Here are a couple of photos of ThinBot after installing the full-length food-grade Norprene tubing.

I also did a quick calibration test of one pump, it delivered almost exactly the 100ml requested. The new hoses also maintain better vacuum back to the pump, so the nozzle drips almost not at all when dispensing ends. Next step (this weekend): build the bell ringer and glass detectors, which are not necessary for ThinBot to perform properly but will definitely add some zing.
