Default 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.

Hitting the target with a laser pointer would require solving most of
the recognition and acquisition problems.

Search for sentry gun and there's some interesting information available.

OTOH, 75 round drum might be enough.

Funny, I watched the video of the paint ball sentry and it didn't seem
to actually hit the targets. I saw no paint splotches.

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! And when you
find that you always lag a moving target, say so: I'll share some control
rules with you that'll fix that problem.

I did not say shoot at any sound. Iggy is smart enough to understand that shooting at a flying mosquito would include analysing the sound to determine what is making the noise. I understand that female mosquito's have a different pitch than mail mosquito's. I would shoot both, but Iggy may only want to shoot the females. They are the ones that bite. And of course one would need to program in limits on where to point the limits. Do not want to irritate the neighbors.

Iggy, I think I read an article about a game ranch in Texas that was already
doing a mobile version of this for handicapped hunters. Basically a hunt by
wire method. It was not automated. Just remote control, but they may have
already solved some of the problems you may run into.

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

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.

This is an excellent point!

To make it a little harder, how about having several sound sensors
and have it direct a laser at a flying mosquito.


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.


If I saw such a sight - it would be the rodent repulsion unit.

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.


I got the one way traps.
