bro just casually designed an airsoft missile defense system in his room

I can't wait to see this at Open Sauce

A 360° helmet-mounted version of this would turn an airsoft fight into a walking simulator

We know who is going to be recruited by the military. Nice work mate!

Now I understand the name of this channel. INSANE build

Excellent recommendation youtube, I DO want to watch a dude shoot things with an aim-bot.

How the fuck does this guy only have 50k subs, this is one of the most all around impressive projects I’ve seen on KZfaq. The functionality looks insane, the actual craftsmanship is bonkers, and the software stuff you breezed past sounds like an absolute pain in the ass to get working, bravo man!

Okay that dual-wheel system for quickly moving the barrel axially is SUPER cool and I'd love to see some project involving it in the future, barrel to a gun or otherwise.

Lockheed martin would like to know your location.

that one mf on the other team who has never touched grass

nice engineering young man! RE; using "pre optimized, off the shelf parts"; right before he died, my grand daddy told me " Never start from zero"

DUDE!!! THIS IS SO COOL HAHAHA!!! I was so intrigued with all of your design flaws and the way you overcame them! You're awesome dude, keep it up!

This thing locking onto your eyes/glasses must have been the creepiest thing throughout the project. "Master betrayed by its own creation"

This is incredible engineering. You could milk way more step by step videos out of that but you don't. Very impressive. The quality and money spend on the projects is fascinating!!

This thing is so awesome! Props on "making your own Opti track" - I'm actually part of a research team that uses the system and was amazed you just made your own! And how well it works! Not to mention that it's PORTABLE!? 10/10

Absolutely incredible. Thank you for your service.

“so I made a CRAM, but for nerf darts”

Lockheed-Martin would like to access your location. Allow or block? ...But seriously though, this is pretty bananas, good job.

Absolutely incredible - You are a highly impressive creator and this video was amazing. Thank you!

This is amazing content. Seeing you implement the HPA system made me so happy. Your engineering skills are crazy!

You deserve 1 billion subscribers. I have never seen a more intricate and laborous diy project than this. Congratulations on your hard work and maker abilities

Just to throw this out there, PCB Way and JLC PCB offer machined parts including gears that could be used in this project and their pretty economically priced. It's a life saver if you don't have the ability to machine such parts in house.

This is great! Pursuit of interests to their logical end is one of the greatest joys in life (and also frustrations) Amazing work and engineering.

Baller project. Great design and love how the dual chain drive controls both pitch and yaw.

Incredibly cool, bro is building military technology

I'm speechless.. the engineering here is mind-numbing , in both the hardware, and software. And all the fun that could be had with this aside, there are practical applications here as well. Well Done man... seriously.

This is alot of really heavy math! I am very impressed!!

This is brilliant. Thanks for your time and efforts not only on this brilliant design and software but also for this thoroughly entertaining and informative video. Cheers.

"Assist" seems like an understatement. You've built yourself a SeaWiz. (CWiZ? I can't remember the acronym.)

Brooooooooo. 16:00 . I can't even imagine how unbelievably satisfying that was to you. I was grinning ear to ear seeing that barrel track the target like that. Jesus. It's so smooth. What a marvel.

This is incredible! Excellent work!

I am here for stuff like this. This is the first video of yours that I have seen. Definitely subbing to see how this goes and whatever crazy projects you have in the future.

you can look at paintball hoppers for inspiration. Some of them use magnetic transmission to avoid jams, when jamming, the "carousel" will jerk back because of the magnetic coupling, this will "unjam" the bb., anyway they have many design features that make them great, you can load tens of thousands without any jam. Some of them even maintain pressure in the loading tube which can improve the firing rate. Generally, the paintball guns would be a good choice for you project, some of them can be converted to .50 cal instead of .68, and you can find .50 bbs, even defensive ammo such as pepper or plaster. The software control they have is excellent, they can use an "eye" in the chamber to shoot as soon as the ball hit the firing position and it will prevent any ball "chopping", they use electronic firing switch, they can make the gun shoot in ramping mode (full auto maintained by pressing the trigger quick)

This is an insane amount of engineering and design for a single project. You deserve so much more attention i hope some big science youtubers work with you so you can make even bigger and greater Projects man.

I think this is one of the most amazing videos I have seen on youtube !!! just with there was a way without the reflective tape part !

I love a lot of your hardware solutions, like the spring for the feeding tube for auto shutoff on overfeed, very clever.

feedling BB's into tubes 1 by 1 is how most airsoft magazines work. That's why there is a device specifically made for feeding airsoft bb's into tubes 1 by 1, it's called a speed loader. You fill a bunch of bb's in it, and then push a button a few times. each time you push the button it will load a couple bb's(usually like 4).

Love the part where ya mentioned for material you decided to go with metal, and had some pretty sick heavy metal music playing. Love it!

when i finally got to the part of you test firing after you did the hopper and spring from mcmaster carr. my jaw hit the floor. DAAANNG so fast!

2:10 that was a neat way to articulate the barrel.

Nicely done! If you want to use it somewhere with more lights (or outdoors), consider putting narrow bandpass filters of the same wavelength as the LEDs over the image sensors to prevent false targets. I didn't see a mention of the wavelength you're using, but ~950nm is a good choice as little light from the sun gets through the atmosphere but it is still visible to silicon image sensors. You can also pulse the LEDs on alternate frames to detect and ignore very bright light sources that still make it through the bandpass filter. It will still target your glasses though ;)

I cant even comprehend how insane this is, you earned a sub

That is so badass man well done. Excellent

Presentation, Story telling, Explanations and Engineering all 10/10. The like button didn't stand a chance!

This is actually really cool. Just watched the v1 video and it's insane how far your channel and this project have come!

Outstanding project. Well done! Loved this.

Fantastic! Stuff made here would be proud

This is legendary work. I'm subbed. Excited to see more of your work, thanks for filling the technical void some larger channels don't! :)

One of the most engaging videos i have seen in quite a while! You are way up there with the big ones on YT! Please keep em coming, you are definitely someone I will come back to regularly! :D

You are incredibly talented, I am envious of your engineering skills. I'm too old to learn this kind of stuff, I know computers, so I have an understanding of how hard this project must've been start to finish. I hope your passion leads to a very bright future. What you've demonstrated here is proof of your abilities with multiple highly demanding skills. Keep up the amazing work, you're a great role model for young folks in my family who don't have many good role models ( Only me and my mom are there for these kids in any capacity, so it's hard. ) Wish you the best

Simply amazing how you did it

Insane work, i'm blown away by the sheer amount of different fields you have to understand (and excel in) to accomplish this. Congrats!!

this is beyond amazing, the scale of this project is huge! Well done!

seriously impressed! aloot of hours behind this. keep it up!

coolest thing ive seen this year by far!

Just remember, the more federal lists you're on the better.

This is the dopest and most terrifying thing I've seen this month. If not this year. You're doing some really interesting work here. Imagine a world where bullets could be shot out of the air... I can't even imagine what all that would change.

Wow. Insane engineering, keep it up!

Most impressive video I’ve seen in years! 👏👏👏

I’m a robotics teacher and shared this out as fast as possible. Incredible use of every aspect of mechatronic design. It seems like optimization for retro reflection is very limiting. I love the combination of wide angle and focused targeting cameras. Are there any other imaging techniques that would allow for more flexible target acquisition and tracking that is less accurate but more flexible in different environments?

Great efford and great result. This video is criminally under watched. For the algorithm!!

Found your channel from gun content. Subscribed. This reminds me of my childhood messing with robotics and wanting an airsoft sentry gun to do this exact thing

This was awesome. Thank you!

hands down one of the best projects i have seen on youtube

Dude this is so fuckin sick! I love that you spend time showing the iterative process

The most well done project i have ever seen on youtube

Just discovered your channel. I'm an engineer and this content scratches an itch i wasn't aware was there. Lovely video ma dude. Insta subbed.

Dude reinvents Iron Dome in his garage 😂 I never got that distortion correction to work, but I made a stereophotogrammetry system for high precision measurements using OpenCV. Had +/- 0.06 mm at 1 m.

This is the Engineer turret from TeamFortress, brough to life. *including* the remote control with the touch panel. It shall be used in real life airsoft party, protecting a building or a "treasure chest" 🤣

You ar the man! Nice work.

Well done, man. Future of airsoft and paintball.

Credit where due.

This video is absolutely underrated, this thing with a real firearm would be gnarly.

Incredible! Surely someone from the weapons industry came knocking after this video. This together with the new Atlas...

Run Forest, they know where you are!😆Amazing research.

you win. This is the best project I have seen on youtube. Truly some great engineering mate.

Everything about this video is AAA triple frickin A. How the heck does this not have 100X the views?!?!?

Damn my wrist hurts just looking at it even before I knew its 22lbs, lol. Lol could just tell from your voice when mentioning "V4" your brain wanted a much needed a break from the project. Hey props on keeping it true to form when you ran into all those obstacles. People tend to overlook all those redesigning issues you might face since you kept it looking fairly similar through in and out. Changing one part here or there, you might have to scrap to a complete rework from the inside out just for bracing issue alone. The feeling of producing something in all metal instead of plastic for once must feel nice and an accomplishment in its own.

THIS IS TOALLY INSANE! LOVE IT! ... man ... i thik you should woork for lockheed .. or something like that

Hands down, this is absolutely the most advanced build on youtube.

Oh come on that guy is clearly aimbotting, reported.

thats epic great work

19:15 is the point I was literally laughing out loud. Great work and interesting to watch. Thank you!

finally an extreme supermaker. congratulations, really👍🏻 especially for the software. As a mechanic, all those gears create backlash. If I can give you some advice,. the clearpaths you used have a huge torque, connect the motors directly to the camera/barrel block, (I don't know how to describe it, have you ever seen how a playstation joystick stick is made? the analog stick mechanism), the clearpaths have an encoder which corrects the position in real time, so you will have 0 backlash.

You sir have earned a subscriber! Edit: Just realised I used to watch your robotic arm videos years ago!

I'm super impressed with the effort & skill that went into this. The project is at least as good as anything by Stuff Made Here, possibly better due to skilful workarounds required by budget constraints.

I feel like the fps are really the only limiting factor in this, and maybe also the accuracy of the motors or the quality of the predictions. Would love to see another vid about this

Wow that you can make all this is amazing

That spring tube feeding mechanism is ingenious!

Nice job! That ROI bug in the Basler cameras made me giggle - I write test software for a competitor. ^^

This is Amazing content‼️

your a genius and that actullay a great video

I see someone is going to work on defense contracts soon... Awesome stuff.

this video unironically motivated me to learn for my Math 3 exam i was procrastinating to

this is mind-blowing!

The content I'm using KZfaq for. Good job!

dude.... this is insane!

good god do I love maker projects from someone with engineering education and resources. you're getting the experience here too (learning to buy the right stuff like airsoft units).
