Interesting build of taking a sawzall blade and making a knife out of it.

Another automated turret build

Posted on August 14, 2017 by robertwilkie

This one is a bit interesting since it seems to shoot bursts out instead of single shots.  The difference from past ones is no arduino involved (RPi and a hat for motor control), and no laptop to do image processing/etc. … Continue reading →
