Of course. It's a tribute to the sentries from Portal, which always said silly things like that.

If you participate in large-scale paintball competitions, I can see this being incredibly useful. The only limitation being that it seems to only have a 90 degree field of vision. Obviously you don't want it to shoot itself or get tangled in its own cording.

Damn, though, I'd love to set one of those up next to my neighbor's dog's chicken wire pens....
If you participate in large-scale paintball competitions, I can see this making you into 'that teamkilling [censored]-tard.' It seems to react to any movement at all, which means if a teammate steps into its firing arc, they're dead. Everyone will beat you up after the match.


It's not team-killing. It's assisted suicide. All the other guy's fault for getting in the way of the paintball.

I imagine the idea for it would work for a real gun but there would need to be a full proof way of identifying friendlies, and I would imagine that the mechanical portion of it would need rebuilt to handle the added recoil of an actual weapon.

This is nothing but awesome. I would give much to have this and take it for granted.

So you make it recognize a color, maybe, and not fire at things of that color. It's already being run by a laptop. That'd be cheap and easy (relatively) IFF, if you've got some kind of team jersey. It won't necessarily be incredibly accurate, but it'd at least be something.



It already has colour IFF, it says it on the website, you can set it to attack a certain colour or to attack everything BUT a certain colour

On the website I think it says it can handle about the recoil of a pistol ( again it's just an I think for this one so it might be the truth, or I might just be delusional)
