Homebrew PCBs

Oops, I retract my statement: the above would work for just the solder
dispenser.  You're right, you'll probably need some sort of vacuum pump for
the pick-and-place machine.  It can't be that difficult, though: the vacuum
needed to pick up one of those parts must be incredibly small.  You could
probably even have the Z-axis stepper pull the plunger on a syringe to
create the vacuum to lift the part.
