Hot on the heels of the Wii missile launcher, Das Uber Airsoft Gun Turret is here to put our past airsoft turrets to shame. Made by [Miltron_B], this autonomous beast not only has gorgeous LED indicators, it has lasers. Three of them. Three freaking lasers. Take a moment to wipe the drool from your chin.
We’ve seen plenty of turrets before, but this one really excels in design. It features two webcams for more precision detection and tracking and when set to manual mode, it can be controlled with an XBox 360 controller. He’s posted great pictures of the process with a step by step break down. Tons of useful links are included to help you out.
Someone should construct a Portal sentry gun case for this thing and add voice clips.
XBox 360 controller? What a shame to implement the only next-gen system lacking a tilt sensor…
i think the inventgeek one is more uber….

That’s pretty sweet but too bad he doesn’t have a working video.
A Portal turret? It’s a little funny, but I’m going to start working on one. What an odd coincidence. Anyway, bring on the cake!
If u want to see a Sentry check out what this guy did.

thats really cool im going to do something like that
That’s certainly an uber hack that deserves some recognition, even if there are other turrets out there, or varying coolness factors. What I’d like to know is what airsoft components were used to make this. I can distinguish some sort of muzzle, but where’s the rest of the gun… Did he just use pieces of it?
