I found out recently that there are leagues of robots out there that do miniature first person and autonomous battles with nerf and airsoft weapons. I wanted to do a robot specifically with my little Brother that would really keep his interest and not be nearly as complicated as the Jarvis project. The walking bipedal is not avail from Dj yet but the good news is beginner class may have tracks or wheels! So this means cyler (this projects tag name at the moment) is eligible to compete. Ironically the local airport league also allows robots to play with people. The torso is a omnibot style , specifically a robie sr. I picked up a rad 2.0 base which will get 12v power making this robot practically all-terrain.

OK so I wired a power switch to the battery , a charging circuit to charge even if Cycler is on. The base is two rad bases put together. One gearbox makes noises like it has rocks in it. I'm thinking of lubing it with a heavy grease. All that's left is touch up paint , mount base , screw arms on, wire tip 120 transister to trigger the air soft guns to fire. So its on the last stretch and then we test.
OK so we are connecting the tip 120 to trigger the air soft guns from a single digital pin. Also we are picking up a couple gamepads to make it easier to control. I found a great deal for a pair at best buy. Once the guns are connected we should be ready to test and configure controls today.
Is that price for the pair of controllers, or for just one?
That's for a pair , or 24.99 each. They are 2.4 GHz wireless too.
Sweet! I may have to get them. Dude, I am moving and unpacking this weekend. Hopefully I can find that laptop and get it sent to you soon.
Yes that.would be great , on my budget I need it lol , like robot building on a fixed income.
