If you are into automated weapons of medium destruction and automation here is a cool hack you are sure to enjoy. It uses an ioBridge to allow a Wiimote to control a remote airsoft gun. Since there is a camera on the contraption you are able to hunt from anywhere in the world (as long as you have a high speed internet connection). "Building from my previous creation I connected my wiimote to a servo via some python and my ioBridge 204 module, only this time I replaced the coilgun with a remotely triggered airsoft gun! Now there are no more issues with reloading a weapons system half a world a way after each shot!" Thanks for the tip Hans. |

Controlling something over web doesn’t impress anymore. The PC is the real controller there, not the Wiimote. This is like creating a web interface and saying “yay, I’m controlling it with my uber-kool iphone”.
Still, the contruction is really good, and I really like airsoft turrets.
What construction set did you use? Is that fischertechnik?(sorry I don’t have sound output right now)

Hi,
I used this construction set when I was a little kid, it’s called Construx and it was made by Fisher Price!
