Or: You could buy a hunting laser-rangefinder, open up the case and somehow wire the electronics so that the computer relays the display infromation to a receiver by a homemade transmitter so that the range can be seen on the pilot's controller. That, combined with the infrared camera-operated pai

I had the same thought while watching the video. The guy did an amazing job, but building a device to shoot yourself with paintballs falls into the "what was I thinking ?" category. - Doug -Original Message- From: rctankcombat@googlegroups.com [mailto:rctankcom...@googlegroups.co

I wouldn't think so - how would it know where the tank is? If I'm driving my tank around and I switch SV auto-pilot on, how is my SV going to find my constantly moving tank? you could put the SV into random auto-pilot mode and drive the tank to the SV, but assuming the SV "lives" at home base, yo

[TANKS] Re: target tracking

Yep, nothing beats realism like having your own artie wipe you out. Needs a friend or foe function. Also, the first tank to attack the piece will cause it to waste all of the ammo on the front surface. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You are currently subscribed to the "R/

Nope, no ball on mine... Not sure if I will put one on it or not. Now that all the mechanicals are there for the traverse, building a ball might be one hell of a pain in the you know where. I might just do a canvas cover for the hole. Derek T065 On Sun, May 17, 2009 at 3:12 AM, Sgt.A.Johnson <

[TANKS] Auto-pilot

I don't think it is currently covered by the rules, but can I build some kind of auto-pilot? Here's what I'm thinking: The servo cables out of the RX would plug into some custom circuit wizardry box and by default it just passes through the servo electrical interface for "normal" RC operation. W

Change the way it targets? Like lock on to EMF or have it able to distinguish targets between 6 inches tall and 4 feet tall. On Sun, May 17, 2009 at 7:00 PM, Mike Måne wrote: > I was actually looking at that same video yesterday. It's rather > incredible. However, it would need some adjustment i

[TANKS] Re: target tracking

I was actually looking at that same video yesterday. It's rather incredible. However, it would need some adjustment if it were to officially be used in combat. If it were to be mounted on a vehicle, it would fire whenever it rolled. I suppose it could still be used as an artillery piece (to the per
