Home-made gunbot

WHY WE WIN
Stuff you can make at home



If it's true that the Second Amendment's purpose was to allow citizens to arm themselves against a tyrannical gummint, and it was, then it follows that the citizenry ought have access to the same weapons.  Which we did,  more or less,  until Miller.  Anyway. a righteous heart and American ingenuity will out in any emergency.


The turret of the 45-pound robot has 8 ultrasonic sensors that calculate to the inch the distance between it and other objects. If an object moves towards the robot in defense mode, the turret aims and fires automatically. The fully automated electric gun shoots brass or plastic pellets at 350 feet per second.
