Robotic Paintball Turret

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 11 of August , 2010 at 12:56 am

This, kids, is yet another reason why you should start teaching yourself robotics. Plus, you can tell your parents (or your significant other, if you’re a big kid) that you “need a new paintball gun for your science project” (or something). Instead of a Tippman, though, I’d have to suggest something way better; something like an AKALMP Excalibur (otherwise known as the greatest paintball gun ever made).

Anyway, wouldn’t it be cool if you could somehow buy this turret setup as a kit or something? Yeah it would.

While Tippman guns aren’t always the most accurate or robust, they are extremely durable. I’ve put my Pro-Am through hell and back. (Double meaning as I got my paintball start at Hell Survivors in MI.)

.) There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.

An interesting dialogue is worth comment. I feel that you must write extra on this matter, it may not be a taboo subject but typically people are not sufficient to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
