I was kinda thinking about that, but I was going to use one of those nerf vulcan machine guns. But, I was looking into it and the range cant ne much more then 5 meters, unless you spend a couple hundered dollars for sensors. So, I'm looking into a little more advanced. I just got a new full time job, so got lots of money coming (waiting on the first paycheck). Im thinking I can do this for <500$.
Also, next summer my friend has a large property up in northern BC, like upwards of 300 acres. The plan is to go up there and have an epic full scale paintball war for a week or so. Me being the builder, not the fighter, I'm planning on what kind of hardware I can bring. Auto turret? I think so!
So once I get one prototype working and finished, Im going to make a second. My goal is to finish this pretty quick, hopefully before november or something, so I'll start a post documenting the process.
