What I would really like to do, if I had a spare $3,000, is to build an automatic sniper soldier. It would be a robot programmed to shoot at certain color light bulbs as they light up (so that it is safe to test). It would, of course, shoot BBs or some other safe projectiles. If used in a real war, it could potentially deny the enemy a sector, without exposing any soldiers. i |

They have robots equipped with machine guns. http://www.popularmechanics.com/tech...robots/4252643 I'm sure there's better info than that article, but it was handy. -- Ed Huntress |
