The gun on the Terrascout is a rapid-firing, motorized Nerf gun similar in design to the Rapidstrike, but shorter and built on a motorized mount rather than a gun grip. It accepts Nerf N-Strike magazines through a slot on its right side, and includes an 18-shot magazine and darts. The top of the gun holds a large handle with an N-Strike accessory rail on top, so you can both easily carry the tank and mount a light or other Nerf rail accessory on it. A second accessory rail sits under the barrel. Taking the Vulcan apart is certainly not an easy task, so be careful and try not to snap any plastic pieces. David describes the robot’s public debut at the Cotswold Jam as ‘controlled chaos’. “It went down extremely well. I built some ‘evil alien’ targets to give the participants something to aim at – apart from each other!” void ceaseFire(int selector) { // function to stop firing the gun, based on what firing mode is selected I decided that the best way to attach the wooden pole would be through an existing screw hole. Since the gun should be attached in its center of gravity, I had to use counterweights later on (I didn't want to take the front of the gun off, since I thought it looked good). Otherwise the center of gravity interferes with the ammo belt.As the system is based upon computer vision, we needed a reliable camera that could be attached to the barrel of the gun. We first investigated the 8 Megapixel Pi camera. After plugging and unplugging the camera multiple times during testing, it stopped connecting to the system. As we had access to a Logitech C920 HD Pro Webcam, we decided to integrate it into our system instead of the Pi camera. This camera interfaces over USB to the Raspberry Pi so it was easy to wire and mount to the system since we did not need a long ribbon cable. One problem we ran into when using the USB camera is that the OpenCV capture function has an internal 5 frame buffer. This meant that when we tried to get a image, it was out of date by the time we accessed it. The solution we came up with to get one current frame is to read 5 frames, throwing away the first 4 and only keeping the 5th frame. Another issue we encountered with the camera was that it would occasionally not turn on while our program was running, especially when it had been idle for some time; we did not come up with a permanent solution to this, however unplugging and replugging the camera and restarting the program usually worked. Electrical System The next dart is gravity fed, and simply falls into place, making it quite a rapid firing micro tank. Testing the tank Continuing work on the project, David plans to power it with LiPo batteries – “It currently runs on 14 (!) AA batteries which really don’t last very long as the drive motors and flywheel motors are pretty greedy.” You don’t need to take the screws off which hold the barrel together unless you plan on painting the blaster. Start by taking the handle off. You won't have to loosen any screws. Just hold the gun down and pull it to the side, as shown in the first picture.

Make sure that the axis is perfectly centered! attach diable plate momentary button to digital I/O pin 2 (low-active: when on, connects pin to GND) Either unscrew the mechanism, or use pliers to place the wire underneath it, as shown in the third picture. Now all that is left to do is to secure the wires with hot glue, as shown in the fourth picture of this step. I simply connected the two wires; But you can also add a switch, to also enable firing by pulling the trigger. Following some successful experiments firing smaller, single-shot Nerf guns using a servo, David turned his attention to larger Nerf models. “[I] realised that there are essentially two types: the pump action ones and those which use two flywheels to propel the dart. I didn’t know exactly how the mechanism worked until I actually took one to bits!” The gun is mechanically very similar to the Nerf Rapidstrike rifle, using a motor to drive an air piston that launches each dart. It's a quieter and more reliable firing system than the flywheels used in guns like the Nerf Stryfe, which spins up a pair of wheels into which darts are fed by a lever connected to the trigger. The Terrascout can launch between two and three darts per second, sending them flying at a distance of about 50 feet.During the two months of evenings and weekends he spent working on the project over the summer, several design changes were made. “The biggest disappointment was that the huge chunky motors I had didn’t have enough torque to turn the bot successfully. Getting the right motors is an area where I am definitely still learning and it’s a critical factor to get right in building a successful bot.” Now that we had a data set for each face, we needed to make a training algorithm which we can feed into our recognizer algorithm. To do this, we made a script that searches the folder with all of the saved images. It cycles through the folder to open each image, converting it to grayscale if it is not already grayscale. Then it converts the image into a numpy array. The script looks at the file name to identify who was in the photo. We then confirm that there is a face in the frame and add it to the list of faces along with the person's UserID. OpenCV can use this data to train on by saving it as a .yml file. Facial Recognition - Recognizing Faces I'm desperately searching for someone to make one of this, I would definitely pay to have one made. That said, everything comes together to make the Terracout a really enjoyable toy. It has all the advantages of a surprisingly peppy remote control vehicle and a Nerf gun you can fire from across the room, all with a camera that lets you watch whatever you're aiming at. It's a fantastic spy and artillery device for anyone who wants to wage warfare against their siblings or coworkers. elif ( not ( 4 in targets) and ( 4 in civilians) and x >cols_left[ 0] and x rows_up[ 1] and y

Li takes his tank through a series of batteries, all of which show impressive results. Accuracy is spot on, which isn’t easy with notoriously unreliable Nerf darts. A five-foot muzzle velocity test achieves a whopping 35MPH dart speed. The distance test sends foam projectiles an impressive 44 feet. Step-02 Flywheel flinger The dart is pushed into twin rotating flywheels which propel it rapidly down the barrel. These, along with the robot’s drive motors, require a lot of battery power. After unscrewing the screw which is holding the plunger head you will be able to change the spring.

A big advantage of the Nerf Vulcan is that no extra servo is needed to fire it. The Arduino can directly be wired to the motor of the gun.
