Do Not Modify: Tactical Nerf System

[mrsarg777]

Spy sappin ma vulcun

[Katsujosh]

SENTRY RIGHT UP THERE

[sonicmaster987]

I would remove it and fire a la Heavy weapons guy  :3

[IHeartRoboticsDotCom]

@sonicmaster987 I wanted to mod it like the turret from Portal

but I have limited time these days

[djlolypop]

thay never said to paint the nerf guns lol

[thenerfbullet]

cool

[Ryio5]

dude really? u just used windows Movie Maker and edited out ur self from the video but i belive that Vulcan Was attached to that table

[myjeepcj5]

dude... you are frigin retarded... none of what you just said is true

[LeetmanAndFeverFilms]

you cant do that with windows movie maker

[IHeartRoboticsDotCom]

I used Windoze Movie Maker on Linux with Wine.

[superacecombat]

i dont think it's fake. all you have to do is have a motor attached to the vulan and servos to pull the trigger, and u could have a remote controlled vulcan

[The2NerfGuys]

sick mod i'm subbing you rock!

[moopshock]

lol just lol

[arkoo5]

lol

[urbanninja369]

it would be more cool if it can shoot with out pulling the trigger

[BradleyIfland]

all you do urbanninja369 is tape the trigger

[IHeartRoboticsDotCom]

I don't have time but what I wanted to do was to wire in a relay so the switch could be controlled automatically. Maybe at some point in the future.

[BradleyIfland]

thats cool

[HaloManRS850]

niceeeeeeeee

[jackassvue1]

nice

[4bd4bd]

dude nice!

[antaries93]

i was planning on putting a remote control turret on mine as well. only i was going to also putt a camera right below the end of the barrel so i can then look at what im shooting. another nice thing to do is install a computer into it so that it can use the camera to detect movent so that it can track objects and fire at them.

[IHeartRoboticsDotCom]

The video response shows some more information about how the camera is mounted and how the targeting system works.

More information about the project is available at the website.

[SwordsmanxGuru]

thats crazy! but y did u add a weight bar on top?

[IHeartRoboticsDotCom]

The bar of aluminum is on the top to counter balance the weight of the D cell batteries. If I can ever get time to work on this again I will probably add external power and remove the aluminum and the batteries.

AUTO TURRENTS AWSOME perfect for secruing bases in nerf war nice...are uselling it??? =0

[IHeartRoboticsDotCom]

Right now it is designed to be hooked up to a laptop. It needs some sort of on board targeting system and some design changes before it would be ready for sale.

[thenerflover]

k thanks for the info

[iamausome]

now just make something to pull the trigger

[joeybeatall]

HOLY SHIT !  just what i need

[snowboardingrocks511]

does it shoot

[IHeartRoboticsDotCom]

It doesn't shoot automatically yet, all that will need is a relay in place of the trigger mechanism.

[We4JC]

the only thing it cant do is aim up

[joeylegacy2000]

I love the portal turret sounds

[pntballer4life93]

does it even shoot remotely??

[IHeartRoboticsDotCom]

The firing mechanism is not finished yet, but should be simple to implement with a relay. When it is finished it will fire automatically, but the scope for the camera needs to be fixed for the computer targeting to work.

[slider7w]

I have a gun modified this way too, you beat me to the idea though! Mine is just RC but I would like to make it auto eventually.

[destroyah9]

whoah howd udo that, but thats not really good to use in a war since its not automatic, u have to control it, and 2 it cant go up and down

[IHeartRoboticsDotCom]

This was a mechanical systems test using a HiTec digital robot servo HSR-5498SG and remote control. There were some balance issues due to the weight of the batteries so that is why there was a large rod of aluminum taped to the top. Moving the turret up and down would not be that difficult.

The video response posted shows the automatic computer vision targeting system.

[ZUMAGI]

this is really cool!! I would pay u to do this for me!!

[IHeartRoboticsDotCom]

More video footage with the computer vision system integrated will probably be posted next week.
