Since my original work on BOB (Bret's OmniBot) I have worked on a couple of other robots and now Bob is feeling left out. So it is time for an upgrade. Soon he will become Gunslinger Bob and sport some killer weaponry. Thanks Josh!

No love for Bob last night, had to do some touch up paint on the guns and shoulder mounts. So tonight I should get the guns mounted to the servos. My biggest problem is going to be the re-assembly of the airsoft gun as all the parts fell out when I took it apart and I am not sure how they go together. Oh well, puzzles is fun.
Bob gots guns!

Awwww MAN! Josh, you better bring your "A" game! This guy means business!
THat's right, he's like...Darth Bob
Speaking of games , we gotta figure out how to keep score! We need to get a couple shock sensitive panels and connect them to a couple ofn ports to register hits. Any ideas guys?
So I wired up the motor for the airsoft gun to a TIP 120 to control from a DIO port.
I also drilled a hole in the front of the gun under the barrel to mount my laser sight.

I had to pull the laser out of its housing so it would fit in this tiny space, but I like it better here than hanging on the outside somewhere. Next I wired up the laser to a TIP 120 (and will power it from my buck step down regulator), and both of these TIP120s will be housed in the rear of the gun where the batteries used to go.@Josh - yeah, we will have to come up with something.
What about some sort of pressure transducer and we can measure the impact on an analog port. Then we can write a script to total the impacts and when you hit a certain level a light goes on or something.
Hmm yea , we need to find / pick a panel. I will find a couple ideas and copy n paste to see what you think.
