A Nerf Rival Nemesis MXVII-10K flywheel blaster is the core of the build, with a 100-round capacity of soft foam balls. Stepper motors are used to control a pan and tilt system to aim the blaster. It’s moved under instruction from a Raspberry Pi that uses machine vision algorithms running on a Coral USB accelerator to track targets in the bedroom. A relay board is then used to activate the blaster’s firing action, blasting any targets until they wake up.
[Vinnie] had plenty of fun during build, also showing the sentry gun off to his coworkers in the office. It’s a hard sentry to dodge, with the machine vision algorithm using a full-body tracking model, so merely covering one’s face won’t be enough to get away.
We’ve seen all kinds of sentry guns over the years, from those firing rubber bands to others spraying jets of water. Video after the break.
Is there code or any other design info anywhere?
Where do I buy? Take my money!! Need for my son.
“Waking up is hard”
Not when you finally decide to break out of 9-5 slavery. Since May 2019 I’ve been operating around 800 bots in a niche German MMO game to earn a living. I can wake up whenever I want, usually around 10 AM.
You’re cool
How will you continue to earn a living if your bots are caught and banned? Genuinely curious.
I recommend shooting your feet in bed so you don’t get a bullet in your mouth and swallow while not fully awake!
Just spray the bullets with some denatonium benzoate…
I love it! Where can I buy? I also love that wake up song too!
Maybe getting to bed an hour or two earlier (every night) might be a better solution….
I love the option to guard for dirty cups in the sink
Best alarm featured here since the one that made payments to your most hated causes if you didn’t get up on time.
