Building a robot that can aim & fire a gun, and turning it loose so that anybody can aim and fire the gun via the internet.

The current working prototype fires an automatic airsoft pellet gun, and is stationary in its inventor's office. You can aim the gun at people that walk around in the room and shoot them, as well as other items laying around. I've perforated some important-looking papers on his desk, as well as knocked over a coffee cup on his monitor, and plinked a soda can nearby as well.

Words can't express my joy at something like this existing.

That is awsome to the most excellent level.

my apologies. The telnet interface was used to manipulate items on his desk a few weeks back. This is another kind of interface, not based on telnet commands. I'd rather not post up the addy to that linkup though. At least not without his permission :)

He gave me permission to post this here. Right now, he's in his office, but he's working, so the gun's unloaded. He'll probably load it back up tonight.

You have lots of controls, ranging from turning the gun up/down/left/right by either slow or quick increments. You can prime the trigger, you can reload the gun from the hopper, and you can fire.

Hopefully I'll catch him off guard and shoot him in the head with it :)

Also, please donate money to this man if you can. He's trying to build a mobile version of this crazy battle droid, and needs cash.

Yes, as I said before.

Just check up on it periodically. He'll load it in an hour or so, probably.

No, the first one to do that gets free drinks. Your concepts of incentive are all reversed.
