    paint slinging robots?

    Found this article on paintball guns that can be hooked to a robot.

    Hmmm, those feeds look like a warp feed style.

      those are warps. look at the side of the one you can see the black cover over the board.

      That show on Discovery or History Channel, one of the two., Future Weapons, they did an episode on unmanned warfare and they had a robot that shot the A5 with the pepperballs in it for hostage/crowd control.

      It was the only tournament I've been to where they have more cases of beer than paint. - gimp

        I can just see it now. A car thief getting shot with a paintball, wiping, then playing on.
        I hope PDI comes out with a PL Referie series too.


        -or howabout this-


        Dick:
        Hey honey, there red flourescent paint all over the cars in the condo's lot! I think Willie's white convertable top is starting to stain.
        Jane: Oh, don't worry. That's just the new BorMar the condo installed. It must've been saving somebody's car.
        Dick: ORLY? sweet. I can sleep safer knowing the Porsche is a bit safer.
        (5 mins later from the parking lot)
        Dick: [yelling] goddammit! I left my windows down. [mumbles]damn robot

          It can only shoot 50ft ?? everyone knows the paint wont break at that low of velocity.

          I guess we now have a solution to border patrol/control.

            remember that's only under 290fps. i'm sure it's shooting more than that. hate to be hit by one in the winter time too.
            shoot you later
            i play for the game not the fame.

              Rent-a-cops, Robots, and paintballs. Sounds like a recipe for lawsuits.
