Arduino Rubberband Defender

Arduino based autonomous rubberband gun. Bunedoggle.com does it again with this simple and fun robot. The Rubberband Defender finds it's targets and fires rebberbands to take them out. Go to bunedoggle.com for source code and more cool projects.

Now, this is the best Arduino application!... Well done!!!!

if you could get it to reload rubber bands that would be awesome! great job!

cool

servo.h library is only for controlling the servo. But if the IR-sensor is analog, it probably just reads the voltage from it (0-1023), so a little adjust on that would do the trick :)

@skierplaterandy Oh sorry, I wasn't directly quoting you. I know things built on OS don't have to be os.

@MrBibber, check out the servo.h library, its probably what this was built with.

Firstly 'Its easy, figure it out.' is not a direct quote, so don't treat it as one. I did not say it was 'easy'

Second, open sourced projects are so you can see how something works, to make improvements. That doesn't mean everyone who makes something using an open source project (such as arduino) needs to make their code public.

Third, if you took the time to learn the relatively simple language, and know how your components work, you should be able to develop your own code.

"Its easy, figure it out." THAT isn't the point of OpenSource.

[skierplaterandy]

it prolly has an infared emitter, and when it receives infared back to a sensor above a certian threshold it will fire

[MrBibber]

im interested how it recognizes the objects..

[skierplaterandy]

the fun of arduino is using example codes, then developing your own codes.

this isnt THAT complex so you should be able to figure it out.
