Sneak peak at a project I'm working on for work, showing off the capabilities of our new Dynamixel/ArbotiX Microcontroller based pan/tilt units. This one uses RX-64 Dynamixels, an electronic paintball gun, an ArbotiX, ArbotiX Bridge, ArbotiX Commander handheld controller, Xbee radios, and an electronic relay for firing. Next step: Improve the aiming code and work on autonomous tracking/firing via Roborealm + Camera.
We'll be doing a full write-up and even publishing the DXF files for all the custom parts we made in the near future!
Stay tuned at http://www.trossenrobotics.com

I'm working on something similar with Atmel microcontrollers, however I am going to use an xbee wifi to get data from a webpage so it can be controlled with an iPhone or Android phone or a computer. My question to you is, how did you setup the "trigger" mechanism?
