DefconBots sentry gun competition

Translate Into:

Filed under: ,


DefconBots is returning again this year with their shooting gallery robot competition for Defcon 16. They've decided to leave the rules unchanged from last year. It's a head to head competition between fully autonomous guns. The first gun to shoot all the targets on their side of the board wins. The rules aren't very strict on design; as long as you use nonlethal nonmessy amunition and include a safety switch you're pretty much good to go. The DefconBots site has a reference design to put you on the fast track to competing. Defcon 16 is August 8-10, 2008 in Las Vegas.
