Autonomously tracks, aims, and shoots!

Project Sentry Gun teaches you to build a gun that “autonomously tracks, aims, and shoots at targets.” All you need is

  • An airsoft or paintball gun
  • A webcam to find targets
  • A computer to process the video feed and aim the gun
  • Servo motors to physically aim the gun and squeeze the trigger
  • A sturdy tripod base
  • A microcontroller to interface between the computer and the servo motors
  • Fully open-source code
  • Lots of camo paint
