You may remember the Paintball Sentry Gun that we featured last year. Well the team over at The Sentry Project has not been resting, the new version of the gun software is now available on Ebay and it looks very impressive. It was very sensitive and precise before but have a look at the videos, it has been tweaked to improve the results! I wish I owned a junkyard, I would get rid of the dog and purchase a few of these.
"The software kit is an inexpensive solution for building your own Automated Sentry. It is ideal for those of you who are mechanically inclined or have custom applications in mind.
The Software Kit will consist of the software and the servo controller. They cannot be separated because the software only works with the that specific servo controller. They will be auctioned off on eBay to eliminate the possibility of me charging too much or too little.
The kit can be used for anything from a harmless video surveillance system that tracks and zooms in on moving objects, to a full fledged, heavy duty, gun platform (for area denial or force multiplication) or anything in between."

These autonomous turrets make me a little nervous about the future. Sure now they are harmless but soon they will have these shooting real bullets at the DMZ, then they will have them at the Forts, then the precincts, then main street, pretty soon everywhere, looking for some sign of combativeness. Don’t stop walking, just go about your business, don’t stop to tie your shoe.

If this technology has already trickled down into the consumer market bramlet, you can be sure that the military already has autonomous turrets 10 times as advance as this.

This is a great device and should be lots of fun. Check out the military version that you can’t get in stores near you!
