Note: I did not make this robot - I found this video while browsing YouTube a while back.

I made this robot, it shoots an airsoft gun and tilts up and down to aim.

hmm…thats an interesting way to do a tilt mechanism. Does it work well (as apposed to having the gun on a platform that tilts)? How does it drive?

it works very well, the drivetrain is just two small wheels in the back and two small wheels in the front with no tread that aren’t powered. so it drives the same when its tilted as when its on the ground.

basically you need:
-a drive train (probally an all terain one)
-an airsoft gun mounted on the base
-something like a servo with a lever to pull the trigger
and to be more advanced you can add pan and tilt to the robot.

pacoliketaco · October 28, 2006, 8:39am

that pic from the old vex forum makes the robot look sooo shiny. that also looks like a really nice bot.

anon50541363 · October 29, 2006, 9:46pm

maybe you could use a spycam on a airsoft robot to be presise?

pyromaniac · October 30, 2006, 7:14am

my airsoft gun bot is awesome, aims up and down and everything, amazing in airsoft wars too, just a little too loud
