Nerf FBA_B8072 N-Strike Elite TerraScout

Product Information

If you've been browsing through my other instructables, you might have noticed that I am obsessed with Nerf guns. So far, I’ve managed to infect just about everyone around me with the Nerf virus. It is really fun to see how these plastic toys turn grown men into small boys! elif ( not ( 4 in targets) and ( 4 in civilians) and x >cols_left[ 0] and x rows_up[ 1] and y

Initially, David simply strapped an upside-down Nerf gun to the top of his 2017 Pi Wars robot, X-Bot. “I realised that this wasn’t really going to cut it, so set about designing and 3D-printing a complete setup that I could mount on top of a bot. It uses the original Nerf flywheels, and the original Nerf magazine which can hold six darts. The rest is all 3D-printed. I also designed a simple mechanism to translate servo movement into lateral movement to push the dart into the launcher.” You don’t need to take the screws off which hold the barrel together unless you plan on painting the blaster.

Project Objective

During the two months of evenings and weekends he spent working on the project over the summer, several design changes were made. “The biggest disappointment was that the huge chunky motors I had didn’t have enough torque to turn the bot successfully. Getting the right motors is an area where I am definitely still learning and it’s a critical factor to get right in building a successful bot.”

define disablePlateDelay 5000 // how long to disable sentry when plate is pressed (in milliseconds) While well-known Pi community member David Pride admits that Nerf guns hadn’t been invented when he was a youngster, his interest was sparked when he saw two tables full of Nerf gear at a car boot sale. “I started wondering whether you could operate the trigger mechanism with a servo – turns out you can!”

Hardware Design/Testing

xPosition = (100*(int(x100byte)-48)) + (10*(int(x010byte)-48)) + (int(x001byte)-48); // decode those message bytes into two 3-digit numbers A big advantage of the Nerf Vulcan is that no extra servo is needed to fire it. The Arduino can directly be wired to the motor of the gun.

That said, everything comes together to make the Terracout a really enjoyable toy. It has all the advantages of a surprisingly peppy remote control vehicle and a Nerf gun you can fire from across the room, all with a camera that lets you watch whatever you're aiming at. It's a fantastic spy and artillery device for anyone who wants to wage warfare against their siblings or coworkers. I decided that the best way to attach the wooden pole would be through an existing screw hole. Since the gun should be attached in its center of gravity, I had to use counterweights later on (I didn't want to take the front of the gun off, since I thought it looked good). Otherwise the center of gravity interferes with the ammo belt. In this instructable, I will show you how to modify a Nerf Vulcan to automatically aim and fire at targets. As an added bonus, this gun won't fire at anyone wearing a shirt with the instructables robot on it. I had this project in mind for a long time and finally managed to find the time to bring it to life.Li takes his tank through a series of batteries, all of which show impressive results. Accuracy is spot on, which isn’t easy with notoriously unreliable Nerf darts. A five-foot muzzle velocity test achieves a whopping 35MPH dart speed. The distance test sends foam projectiles an impressive 44 feet.

To do this, we made a script that searches the folder with all of the saved images. It cycles through the folder to open each image, converting it to grayscale if it is not already grayscale. Then it converts the image into a numpy array. The script looks at the file name to identify who was in the photo. We then confirm that there is a face in the frame and add it to the list of faces along with the person's UserID. OpenCV can use this data to train on by saving it as a .yml file. Facial Recognition - Recognizing Faces int clipSize = 100; // how many shots before the gun will be empty and the gun will be disabled (reload switch resets the ammo counter) Taking the Vulcan apart is certainly not an easy task, so be careful and try not to snap any plastic pieces.
