So I'm starting to attempt to learn Visual Basic and write my own. So
far I
prefer QBasic or even GWBasic to VB. I never they could replace
something
like "OpenCom" with 50 lines of code that doesn't run. But once I get
the
com port working it should be able to do relative moves. I'm thinking
the
vision system could be programmed for output for fast or slow movement
for
fast aim and fine positioning. I'd like to get a replica gun that looks
real but won't get me, or the robot, arrested for aiming a gun at
someone.

We use these in class. Or you can take an old gun. plug the bbl and paint
it blue. You won't find toy guns that look right anymore.
