That's some crazy alien technology there!

I saw a video with those a while back and they picked up blocks and built a huge structure out of them... and there was a whole bunch of them working on it at the same time.

Wow, I would love to own 4 or 5 of them and equip them with 1mm bbmg's. That may be fun.

[Gun Freak]

Hahaha then add a camera and tracking system... that would be so sick

[warhead052]

Make them dogfight each other, and add a radio control type of thing and it would be a real life video game.

So guys, I've just found out that machining runs in my blood my grandpa used to be a machinist for Winchester Repeating Arms in New Haven, Conneticut

Well, solved the camera problem, now lets get the bbmg on there!

Sweet... Jack needs to get off his arse and finish his pico-turret

[warhead052]

Haha, that's what I was thinking!

you don't really need much of a turret on a platform like this.. it can rotate so all you need is a mechanism for adjusting elevation of the gun

for traverse (or whatever you call it) you rotate the whole quadrocopter

My thoughts exactly! It would be a miniature flying Stridsvagn 103 you don't even need to adjust elevation separately, four rotors means you can adust attitude too.

I reckon you could make a HPA BBMG weight around 1.5kg (Carbon fibre tank, barrel etc.), make that 2kg with camera etc. - that's a bit more than something like this can carry: http://www.aeryon.com/products/avs/specs.html - but you can always make it bigger or what the hell, these things are modular anyway - join four of them together!

Unless of course you make it actually miniature 1mm calibre and are willing to give your enemiesthe death of a thousand pin pricks

so many ideas, now we just need some money

not *that* expensive... hmmm...

you should focus on perfecting the autonomous turret... as these things (quadrocopters) become more and more popular there will be demand for things that can shoot them down

If I had that much cash to blow id buy a lathe

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

hahahahaha!



I revisited this thread recently, hmmm...



I'm guessing the above would act like a reciprocating pop-off that could give one shot per "pop" if correctly tuned...

To be honest it'sthe autopilot system that's expensive, cue POLARUDINO_SPUD giving a link to something cheaper
