I want to build a "sniper robot"
I would like to build a sniper robot. This would be a robotic machine,
with aa gun, cameras,and a computer inside, that would shoot at targets. It would be based on a stationary platform, meaning that there is no requirement that this robot moves about. Its only job would be, upon command, to aim and shoot at targets. I hope that eventually it could aim and shoot at moving targets,but for the beginning, they will be stationary. To be safe, and for ease of development, it will shoot non-lethal bullets like airsoft bullets or some such. Since it does not need to move,I want it to be powered by 110 volts and, if necessary, compressed air. The platform would be leveled with some precision using adjustable feet. (this will aid in computing trajectory). Acquisition of targets, and calculation of distance and relative location of the target, would be done with two cameras providing stereoscopic effect, like human eyes. What I am hoping is that I can build a robot that would, say,be able to shoot dozens of randomly placed dominoes with astonishing speed. My main qustion is, for now, the following: what kind of airsoft gun can I buy that would be able to shoot without human assistance (no slide racking), and preferably be powered with compressed air, and be relatively consistent, such as 10 MOA or so. I think that I saw one at rip-off fairs and festivals. |

I had the 90rd drum at the Machine Gun Meet that time. Man, those go through rounds like crazy. I had it on semi until I got the feel, then let loose on a van. My burst looked like a heartbeat pulse and the long slow curve into a straight line as I raked the van side. The owner liked it. Those are fun guns. It cost me $25 to do that, so feeding one would be very expensive. A mini gun would be even worse, using up one annual paycheck per day of use, I reckon. Pass! I'm still holding out for a nice, quiet, vaporizing laser. It would: A) Keep thumpers from getting to the door. and B) Remove any of that pesky "evidence" stuff. and C) Eliminate local dogs who **** on the lawn/cats who pee on my porch. and D) Be lots of fun to watch (for very brief, smoky periods.) I'd use a swamp cooler housing with a small motor to raise the case enough to shoot under. That won't look too strange on the roof. Now, where can I find a nice 50kv laser for a Benjy or less...?

The whole point of robotic targeting should be one shot accuracy and ammo conservation. Locate target, fire once accurately, if target is still moving fire again accurately, repeat until no movement. |

That's a good way to separate the tasks. Usually when I approach something like that I like to do the dicey part first, then do the "I know I can do this with enough effort" part later. And, in this case, I see the targeting and shooting part as dicier, so that's the right place to start. Iggy -- post updates if you do this, it sounds like fun!

I wanted to do something like that as a "bug zapper" Well, you could work on your Weirding Technique until Muad'Dib was proud of you, Pete. That'll teach those bugs to come into your home. Speaking of which, I saw a fat, gray, furry body hasten through my kitchen this morning when I woke up. 5 minutes later, there were 4 mousetraps set. Hope I don't step on one with my bare feet. The killer in me is waiting expectantly to hear a loud SNAP quite soon. http://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ757627 I don't -even- want to know what a pair of steel-toed bunny slippers would cost me... -- Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles, it takes away today's peace. --Lifehack |
