Broken R/C Car + Piranah= good times

[Moe]

A little background story:
I needed to make a Rube Goldberg machine for physics. Basically something that makes a simple task, in this case flipping a coin, very complicated. So, to flip the coin we are using a staple gun. And to start it, we are shooting a marble at something. We didnt really want to be right next to the machine while all this was happening. So, out came the old paintball gun, and the old broken R/C car. It all just happened from there. I ripped the steering servo out of the R/C car, and pretty much just tapped it all onto the trigger frame. It worked out very well. Here are some pictures.

:crazy: Looks like something from Frankenstein's shop.

I thought the Rube Goldberg was posed to be all mechanical

[Moe]

Its a good thing i dont care what it looks like, jsut that it works.:cool:

And yes, it is all mechanical. This is just the first step of it. To get it going. You know?

working on a video right now...

[bamf-hacker]

that was awesome... it is a whole new way to play paintball. Put your gun on a stand and sit back and remote control fire :)

Nice mod

LOL
I wanna give yo a hug just for the thought of putting time into that mod LOL Make you a more creative man then me (Hug not in a gay way).

[Moe]

Thanks for the compliments. And, hugs are always welcome. tehe.


I think im gonna get a new motor, because my old one is burnt out, and make it rotatable....then i would just have to figure out how to make it go up and down. Then it would be sweet.

[DFSniper]

set one of those up at D Day then run somewhere out of sight... fun!

[shunut]

I've always thought it might be fun to make a remote control paintball gun. I was going to do it exactly how you did it, except I was going to mount it some how so I could aim with it too. Nice job though.

[covert24]

yea u gcould aim with it like this. put it on a ball bearing swival thing and hook a servo and hook it up so u could move the swival around.

[Amg*TyranT*]

get a camera and strap it on and a huge hopper make it run on top of a rc car and ur set woot
:cool:

[bigred76]

Please stop bringing up old threads, Tyrant. They're old, and the discussion is cold.

[PWNDuAgain]

Not anymore. Now it is hot.

I love that idea. Wasn't there some guy selling an RC car a while back. He should do the same thing.

That is cool. Remote control gun.

The car being sold in the BST wouldn't stoop so low. That thing was a friggin beast, incredibly nice.
