Am I the only one that thought they should integrate this into a scale model ED-209?

Very Cool! I never even thought this was possible!
I Love the badge part!

Very useful if you’ve got an Arch-Nemesis coming to your house!

can it be mad to fire at any movement? that would be beast!

and the movements are kinda slow and no too great…\\but over all it is fucking awesome!

How is this useful to any of our current common needs?

Hey guys,

Great job guys! Did y’all use LabVIEW?

You can use the inputs on that 6009 instead of that stamp to control the limits.

now make it controllable via internet… (gut a mobile security cam use it’s motor with the cam, Make sure you use one that can be connected to by the internet…)

Slow aiming is forgivable. MATLAB is *slow*, and there’s not a heck of a lot you can do to get away from that. If you implemented it in something less bloat-tastic, i’m sure you could make it much quicker.

I want one of those for my lab! That’ll teach the maintenance people to just walk in and start messing around near our million dollar equipment without calling ahead first.

“do you really believe nerf guns contribute to violence?”

In this country, we’re allowed to bear arms to protect ourselves from nerfiggas.

must of been patronizing to go around picking up all those darts. that was always my least favorite part of nerf wars. I say get a roomba with dart recognition software to suck them up and bring them back!

I would guess the reason the turret is slow to respond has to do with Matlab’s Image Aquisition Toolbox. I was playing around with it for a purpose similar to this and found it extremely clunky.

I gotta agree on the presentation, best sentry doc so far but still lacking alot of technical information.

You are in direct violation of penal code 27 section C. - You have five seconds to comply. - Four, three, two, one. I am now authorized to use physical force.

Extremely badass, but it kills me that the kid talking about the software spent more time showing the different color schemes (“and this one looks like Star Wars”) than on how the target recognition works.
