Second auto tracking test.....still occasionally shooting blanks. I'm only using the left gun for testing purposes. I need to fix the ammo hoppers which are not properly loading all the rounds and you can see the ammo hopper fall off at the end of the video. Tracking and shooting seem to be working well.

  • What does it do when the target moves?And if there are multiple targets?

  • It will track an shoot moving targets too. I am working on a video for that.

    Multiple targets is a little more complicated. It will works on multiple targets under certain conditions. If they are too close together and look like 1 target to the robot he can get confused.

    The robot was designed for competition where it will not see multiple targets at the same time.

  • Do you plan to use auto-targeting for the actual contest? The differences in illumination will make it very difficult to work unless you have a very robust object of interest detector... Blobs will just not cut it ;)

  • Yes...I plan to use this system in the contest and will dial it in for the actual illumination conditions. There has been much debate about that at Trossen forums. This year should have much better illuminiation then last year.

    X-Brat can track objects at night under a 60 watt bulb so I'm fairly sure I can get it to work in competition.

  • lol! Wow!! That is very cool! BTW, I saw you get shot at 0:35. lol!!

  • Yup! I get shot every once in a while! One time my wife got shot from about 10 feet away because she was wearing a pink shirt!

  • Hey look buddy, I'm an Engineer. That means I solve problems. Not problems like "What is beauty?"; 'Cuz that would fall within the preveiw of your conundrums of Philosophy. I solve practical problems. For instance, how am I gonna stop some big mean mother-hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfulous new behind? The answer, use a gun. and if that don't work, use more gun.

  • @lsmedel00 Looks like a airsoft automatic reload fire mech, like one i bought about one year ago.

  • It's all fun and games until someone loses a bowl. :P

  • This is the coolest thing I've seen. I want to plans to build this yesterday.
