hmmm... base looks a tad excessive... also, try cutting out a hole in the lid of the jar and set your servo inside the jar with the servo sticking out so that the base plate of the turret rests almost on top of the lid. It will look better and might perform better? Great stuff so far though!

Yeah, and the red eye thing kind of looks funny there. I think I'm going to switch over to a shorter base and put legs on it.

yea lol, that tower of a contained you have your turret mounted on makes the centre of gravity on it quite high, making it rather unstable...the last thing you want to happen is the turret go to follow someone and as i turns knock its self over

This is much better. Going for a slightly offset look since completely symmetrical won't work well.

Much better
Now all thats left to do is Scale it up about 250x, upgrade the main gun to fire at LEAST 6 inch shells, and add a vision targeting system
Looks good so far! keep it up

I want that game so friggen bad... must... not.... spend... money....
Just thought of something too. Is that going to be stable when it has the BB hopper on it? Perhaps giving it a wider stance will help make sure it stays balanced and such?

I'll be adding my own little "portal surprise" in a bit, just wait
I ditched the huge and heavy BB hopper, will be switching to a much lower profile hopper that sits right around the gun. Base is still wobbly so I will be reinforcing it by connecting the bottoms of the legs.

Stampy code is erratically working... my Sharp IR sensor still reads some funny values even though I grounded the case on two points and have 3 capacitors soldered right on it. Oh well, Stampy algorithim isn't exactly a perfect thing to begin with.
Mounted the eye thing, it will not tilt up and down because of space issues. If I actually put it on the gun it would look kind of bulky and out of place. The Roboduino and main battery are screwed on the underside, and I mounted the scanning servo on the front. The wave shield will go behind the pan servo, and the speaker will be mounted on the underside between the scanning servo and the roboduino.
To do:
Install relays to trigger gun
Reinforce legs
Add sound system
Add hopper
Add misc. LED lights to make it more interesting

Hmmm needs more cowbell
But in seriousness, have you considered perhaps enclosing the bottom completely so that the brains and speaker and such could be hidden? Might add to the appeal a little bit. Its looking really good so far though! Keep it up

Yup, need to pick up more plastic and will make some plastic walls around the bottom to cover most of the electronics up.
