You will notice these threads in the workshop forum.
I just want to know what everyone thinks about using these in an actual game.

In my opinion i think that trying to hook up a marker to a RC car will be very difficult and will be a waste of time. You would need to drive it up to a bunker, somehow aim the gun, and fire (which i doubt would get to the bunker without getting shot first).

Well thank you for starting a new thread in a different forum just to share your opinion on something so incredibly stupid it made my brain bleed, you may now return to lowering the average IQ on this board.

Anyway, someone would have to come up with some sort of scenario rules to disable it...ahit on a certain target...perhaps a switch somewhere in it's field of fire that disables the firing mechanism.

As far as an RC car...I don't think anything that small would be mobile or precise enough to be effectively armed. Maybe a paint mine, but not a marker.

Well, A guy named tron from norway beat you too it. At i believe it was the Starcraft game viper held a few years back. right at 1100 people and 3 teams. (Was Fun! My first 24hr Scenario Game.) He had two I believe it was angels again, (These were the only electros out at the time)hooked up on 3 axis tripods with infra red sensors on them. In other words full auto, auto (Heat) seeker paintball guns. They were nasty. he would put them out at night to protect thier base. They had kill switchs on them I believe.

Think larger RC "car" (2x3 feet) with a gun mount on a auto sweep gear. (left and Right) with just a slight angle on the gun, and it works quite well, while giving it a way to be taken out. Anyway, if they are done right RC "cars" and paintball put together is down right awesome.

Infrared sensor and 3-axis tripod? LOL, thats the best thing I've ever heard. Must have cost a lot of dinero.

R/C in a pball game isn't a fabulous idea. Maintenance(sp?) and other people screwing around with ur car would be pretty bad.

I could just imagine so guy treating your car as a toy and like chucking it into a tree. *cringe*

I think it's low enough

I'm not suprised that it's already been done...Still, I might have to look into building one of my own at some point.

to me it's a stupid idea to use these in any field. But at a scenario game it could be pretty useful. With no timelimit and plenty of time to deploy it could be very usefull to complete missions. I don't think any of the designers of the RC cars in the workshop forum made these RC tanks/bombs to be used in a 5 - 10minute game.

Yeah, scenarios only for RC. In speedball it'd be pretty stinking hard to use anything other than normal guns.
