Hey all Imortal here its been a while since I posted so I figured I fill you in on today's activities. I had a friend over and we build a turret gun out of some spare parts. Yup, so 5 hours time, a cheap Glock, a remote control airplane servo set, half a CD rom drive, some PVC, a few pieces of string and a bit of hot glue really can get you a working turret gun. We still have to put in the firing mechanism but the turret it self is complete. Any way here is the link to the vid. Sorry about the camera quality! Not my camera!

Auto Turret (updates/pics)
Cool. Now it needs auto targeting and auto reload - some nuttiness like from Equilibrium, because that would be seven layers of awesome.
Crap... now I want to do that.

Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

if you mount an infrared camera on the gun...
AUTOTARGETING!
also, you can just use the RC plane's propeller motor to fire it, if you attach a disk off center, directly to the shaft, and put that where your finger goes.

Do not look back, and grieve over the past, for it is gone;
Do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come;
Live life in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.

Were planning on using another of the servos from the RC set to control the firing and at some point we will be mounting a small, wireless, camera on it. we also plan on getting a larger mag for it. 
as far as auto reload goes I may have to look into that... :scratch:

Do you want to hang out today and work on some projects? (I'm ready to paint a few things and I have to work on my Sawed Off Double Barrel Two Gauge Shotgun.)man I gotta come up with a better name for it.

Bravo. Bravo.
Instead of putting it on a walking robot, why not just build a set of tracks for it. It looks to be fairly lightweight. Get small remote controlled tank (I picked one up at MonopoMart a while back for about 20 bucks). Install your tracks and now you have a wondering turret.

Man, you guys have way too much time on your hands. (but dont we all? 8) )
That thing rates as a ten for total awsomeness.
I agree with Hubb, get a tank, or better yet a fast RC car and mount this baby! A small camera or two and maybe a laser and you have an RC scout for your airsoft battles.
