automated cannon

some guys created a fully automated potato cannon. pretty neat.

Holy crap!!!
That is amaising!!
If i knew half of what they knew about electronics than i would try something like that

I thought I was going to see a fully automated cannon

It has to be manually muzzle loaded so the automated bit is the fueling.

The tilting and rotating platform is good. It would be nice if the speed could be increased though.

f@$#

well, there went my 3 months of planning
oh well

I still think loading the projectiles is one of the hardest parts of a semi-automatic or automatic gun. I still think their gun is amazing.

Jesus, talk about overkill!
Still neat though... just a little on the complex side for something so simple.

This is the stuff we did in my highschool engineering class.Only we didn't go so complicated.It is fairly easy to control stuff off a computer I don't know why the guys didn't just computer control it.Well, next on my project list,build a computer controlled spudgun and make it load itself

They need to clean the wiring up a bit, it looks like a cat started playing with the wires.

Were they in a classroom or something? It looks like redneck lawn defence to me.

I cant get the video to work . Am I missing anything cool?

it's very cool but it's just 3 combustion spudguns remotely controled. still how do they vent, its really overkill, especailly the saftey devices
imagine how much easier 3 sprinkler pneumatic would be
