1. An apparatus, comprising:
an elastic balloon venting system comprising:
a clamp, an outer platform and an inner platform, the outer platform shaped to reside outside an opening in the elastic balloon on an outer surface of the elastic balloon, the inner platform shaped to reside outside the opening in the elastic balloon on an inner surface of the elastic balloon, wherein the inner and outer platforms are respectively shaped as O-rings, where, a first of the O-rings fits inside a second of the O-rings, the clamp to press the outer platform against the inner platform within the opening in the elastic balloon;
a fluidic channel that is coupled to the opening in the elastic balloon when the clamp is pressing the outer platform against the inner platform; and,
an electro-mechanical valve apparatus, the electro-mechanical valve apparatus to drive a valve to open the fluidic channel so that gas within the elastic balloon escapes the elastic balloon when the valve is open and to close the fluidic channel so that gas remains within the elastic balloon when the valve is closed.
