[Emc-users] EMC controlled sniper robot
I am considering making a portable (read, mounted on a hand truck) robotic sniper. It would be a combination of EMC for positioning (two axes only, horizontal and vertical plane), and a built in ballistics calculator. The robot would be orientated (homed) according to landmarks, and would be told the coordinates of the target in relation to the orientation, which is the bearing angle, distance and elevation. The ballistic computer would compute the shooting parameters based on these, and make adjustments for wind speed, temperature etc. EMC would position the rifle and shoot. So this is not some sort of an evil orwellian concoction, because it does exactly as it is told and does not involve any image recognition. But it would be cool to make a video of it whacking one pepsi can after another, with astronomical precision. Any thoughts? -- Beautiful is writing same markup.

Re: [Emc-users] EMC controlled sniper robot
Ed, thanks. My first idea is to make a very limited sector, where the robot can shoot and limit it mechanically. So a bug, like calculating bearing wrong, would not turn the robot around to kill its creator or bystanders. i On Wed, Oct 6, 2010 at 10:31 PM, Edward Bernard yankeelena2...@yahoo.com wrote: OMG!

You may want to re-think advertising anything about actually building this, you're going to be in violation of a few BATFE regulations. They're not nice to people that violate their regulations.
