wow! that looks so good! great work razor!

HDL_CinC_Dragon · « **Reply #35 on:** March 12, 2009, 03:30:47 PM »

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!

Razor Concepts · « **Reply #36 on:** March 12, 2009, 03:49:49 PM »

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

offy · « **Reply #38 on:** March 12, 2009, 06:29:26 PM »

Very nice. Make a video of it shooting something when it is done, I want to see it in action.

Razor Concepts · « **Reply #39 on:** March 16, 2009, 09:11:21 PM »

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

HDL_CinC_Dragon · « **Reply #40 on:** March 17, 2009, 01:27:30 PM »

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

Hooooooo it starts to look like the turrets from Portal:

Sweeet

HDL_CinC_Dragon · « **Reply #42 on:** March 17, 2009, 02:01:26 PM »

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?

Razor Concepts · « **Reply #43 on:** March 17, 2009, 03:05:55 PM »

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.

hahaha what the heck man

I hope your going to make it have some cheesy phaser blaster sound every time it fires

offy · « **Reply #46 on:** March 18, 2009, 01:52:52 PM »

Thats sweet, I want to go installs Portal again and play it.

Spoil9 · « **Reply #47 on:** March 19, 2009, 08:31:53 PM »

Nice job. Keeps looking better and better.

offy · « **Reply #50 on:** March 21, 2009, 09:40:40 PM »

I still like this one the best. It has a nice design.

Razor Concepts · « **Reply #51 on:** March 22, 2009, 09:31:27 PM »

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

I swear there's at least 30 feet of wire in there

HDL_CinC_Dragon · « **Reply #53 on:** March 25, 2009, 08:04:53 PM »

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

Razor Concepts · « **Reply #54 on:** March 25, 2009, 08:12:30 PM »

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

OMG lol that thing is awesome! hahaha nice work man, cant wait to see it when its fully done!
