You telling the turret "there's nothing over there for you" gives me the same vibes of taking a barking dog outside to investigate nothing by the front door.
@@1stCallipostle that’s true, but the weight is hard to work with unless he uses metal or more supports, and if it’s running on hpa, then he has to spend more money on a tank and a bb tube or some magazine system
Awesome video and the nerf sentry is great, plus your wife came in clutch with blocking out the heat for the gun. I had a few comments for some problems you had. Firstly, for the keyed shafts, look at splined shafts instead for power transmission. They're used all over a car from the engine power output to the steering column. They're just an invloute gear profile with a 30° pressure angle. Secondly, the lazy susan bearing is designed to be used in compression not in tension. You can see it not working around 5:04. The ball bearings in between the 2 plates should move at a different speed than either plate (half the speed of the moving side) but you can see that they move with the bottom plate. You'd be better off changing how you hang it by finding a way to compress the bearing. You can also look into taper-roller bearings, where you have the gun mounted to the male cone with the cone facing downward and the female cone on the stationary mount. You should be able to 3D print one that will be suitable for what you are doing.
Thanks for watching! The spline idea is great and I will absolutely be using that moving forward. Thats good to know about the turntables.. thank you for all this mechanical insight! Its the area I lack the most - sometimes I dont even know what to Google when looking for a solution. I appreciate this comment
No they aren't. The steering column is smooth with a rack and pinion at the end. The gear is at a 45 degree angle to the rack. The only splined shaft in a car is the clutch. Even then it isn't really a shaft so much a a gear matched with a toothed collar.
Its actually "zone" based, so there's a zone in front of the freezer where it'll spin up to warn you you're getting too close. But once you step closer to the freezer, you get lit up
I have made a 3 person nerf cardboard tank (1 top gunner operating a modified rapidstrike, a driver, and a third guy who controls sponsons on the sides and gives the gunner mags) the only thing is when the gunner on top is shooting he always gets shot at through the vision ports and usually gets tagged This would be amazing on a tank
Always cool to see people automate Nerf sentries! There was another video that made an automated sentry (I think it was for a Valorant sentry replica?) that used an AI camera with human recognition. I wonder if you could combine those input methods? Also, if you're looking for high power automatable blasters, I think Jupiters (or is it Junos?) are great for using Rival rounds and having extreme ammo capacity via a proton pack, and if you want power as well as speed you might want to look into HPA or AEBs. HPA would actually be really good for a stationary system, because you could have a huge pressure tank and even an air pressurizer right there!
@@currentconcept ah, if you want distance as well as accuracy you may need some of the higher end half-length darts, like Workers! They tend to be heavier, and since they have ribbing they don't encounter as much friction going down a barrel, also being short they're much less prone to fishtailing. That, or some heavier Rival rounds. Add some rifling too maybe? SCAR, BCAR, I don't know admittedly! There's a couple Nerf resources for optimizing the bejeezus out of perfectly normal blasters, I'm sure in a regular research phase for your next revision you'll find some great info! Happy making!
There are the TF2 lvl 1 sentry and Portal turret that WETA Workshop made for Valve, which use human recognition too! (oh man, those are older than I remember. The video on the TF2 Sentry is 13 years old and the Portal one is 12)
Imagine playing a nerf war with this dude and you walk in to scan for his team and suddenly “VRRRRRRRRRRRRR CRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRI” and your whole squad is wiped out. Bro is literally the tf2 engineer, only his sentries take more time to make and set up.
Now make a 3D printed box mag, buy a bunch more of those, take the chains and connect them (all you need is a nail to pop out the metal pin already in place and connect them) so it doesn't run out of ammo quickly
Oh if only the bosses in Japan could see how that sensor has been used!! the amount of paperwork we had to do to sell those when we first had them was mental... and guess what the No1 application was that was a sure fire rejection from the factory... yep heat seeking weaponry!😅😮💨
fun fact: you can buy the miniguns belt thingy alone on the company's store page, meaning you can attach as many as you possibly want and make it an A10 thunderbolt cannon.
Instead of using heatseeking, you should use AI face recognition and tracking. Because the stuff you’re trying to do is getting easier and easier with the years to come with the help of AI 🤖
