My Lego Laser Turret :D

[Things]

Hey guys, A friend of mine on IRC had an idea that would would try build a laser turret out of lego, so I did! It's controlled via the RCX 2.0, and the laser is also connected to one of the motor outputs, meaning I can control the laser from the same software as the motors, and even program it! I'll let the vids and pix do the talking

I've actually made 2 versions of this, one was designed to hold a laser pointer, and it worked, but my 2nd design is much much better

That is awesome!

You should put a camera on it with face recognizion and shoot people in their eyes... I mean anywhere but the eyes..

That's just exceptional

Did you tried to install it in a room with your cat, and let the auto mode make some random movements?

Very nice work. Now ask for a CNC mill for Christmas. That's when the real fun starts!

When you get the mill, or the reaction when you ask for one?
