    Fun fact, wasps hate quadcopter rotor noise. The rotor blades are strong enough to survive collisions with insects. Wasps target the rotors, get sliced, and more come looking. Rinse and repeat until local wasp population either leaves or gets rekt. $400 for a decent quad with fpv capability, some cleaning supplies to get the guts off your new friend, a fun afternoon of aerial carnage 😂

Look up tonystark or project sentry gun. You're going to find this is nothing new. The challenge here is the calibration and fine tuning to hit small objects as well as leading the target perfectly.

    Pro tip, don't buy wasp killer. Soapy water in a spray bottle or a water gun works just as well. Soap removes their water resistant coating and allows the water to clog the pores they breathe from. Instantly downed and dead within seconds. Tbh changing the airsoft gun out for a watergun setup would probably be SUPER effective.

Smart but also had to get code from them and using the bs chatgpt claim seems like it's a false statement. I could be wrong but I doubt it. The code written for Project sentry gun is on GitHub and I'm sure that's what he used. If not I would be surprised.

    Even easier way to get rid of wasps, is to make the area wood bore friendly. Wood bores will hover and guard the area from absolutely anything that flys. I've seen them go after airliners a couple thousand feet up. Don't swat at them, and you can just Walt right up to them and carry on your business. But if a damn wasp gets spotted anywhere, the wood bore will go unalive it in mid air, then go right back to its hovering guard duty.

What would you accomplish?" That is so true! I wanted to build a car, but I didn't think I was capable. I didn't want to face the financial repercussions of failure. But I dove in and have really surprised myself. Here I am with a car I assembled from a bare frame to something nearly street legal. You are capable of more than your mind leads you to believe. Break down those barriers and surprise yourself. Achieve what you didn't think you could. The only failures are the ones who don't try.

      I don't think anyone should say that this is or isn't hard, easy, or anything else on a platform like this. The level of difficulty is based on the ability, background and experience of the person attempting it, however easy it may be for you doesn't matter, and really, nobody cares. I'll never understand comments like this. A project like this would be very difficult or impossible for most people. Building something like this would only be simple to those that are experienced with electronics, code writing, robotics, components, and the resources to find relevant information involved.
      There are things I can do that none of my friends or family could, and things they can do that I can't, its all relative to experience, background, and ability, I would never say " this is easy, or not hard". The comment "not hard" is like telling someone that can't change a car tire that its easy to swap a motor in a car....may be easy to a seasoned mechanic, but not to a person who has no experience in automotive repair. I can easily fix my vehicles, lawn mower and snow blower, repair broken copper or pvc plumbing pipes, repair or replace a roof, build and fly RC planes and helicopters, fix cars, and home appliances, but my friends wouldn't even know begin, nor would they even know where to start to diagnose an issue with their vehicle. See my point? Comments like that are honestly stupid and mean nothing. Congratulations on this being "not hard" for you, its "not hard" for me to build, program, and test automated valve assemblies that go into G.E.'s off shore sites, or to install a fire suppression system's in a large data room, or diagnose and repair my furnace or my car when it breaks. Thats because I have done these things many times, not because its "not hard" to do. Even with my experience with the above listed things, I would struggle to build something like this FPS wasp killer because I haven't ever built something like this. I guess my point is people should think before they post things on platforms like this. And clearly I'm not the only one who agrees with this, I guarantee there were dozens of others that may have wanted to leave a comment like this, but just chose not to take the time like I did here.

      Wrong he copied Tony Stark and or Project Sentry Gun from their paintball sentries made years ago. This is nothing new. Then clearly saying tonystark in the video is poking at he knew what he did. Not a genius but smart to do it. I've done it. It's not hard if you know how to build things. Look up Tonystark or project sentry gun two different channels from UA-cam years ago that did this minus the wasps shooting. So it's good to know ppl are giving credit to the ORIGINAL CODE WRITERS FOR THIS INSTEAD OF CLAIMS IT'S CHAtGPT... OH WAIT HE DIDN'T GIVE CREDIT.

    As a filmmaker myself, this video is a cinematic masterpiece that told a story with emotion. The lighting, storytelling, the music, and the failures and progress sent shivers down my back. Giving context of your fear of wasps and letting us sympathize with your fear, make shifting tools to solve a problem, and showing us not to be "deathly" afraid of our fear shook me to my core.

    Don't trigger with a servo, use a solenoid. Use a MOSFET to trigger the solenoid. Don't forget a freewheeling diode. Also ask someone, a human, to walk you through specific parts that make sense. You also probably don't need dual video encoders, just compromise on resolution and tack together two video streams into one side by side.

    As a long time airsoft and FPS player I could give some pointers for a potential V2/3/whatever one you're on now. HPS was the right idea, as it provides the highest fire rate with the lowest recoil, however the recoil was still impacting your accuracy in ways that could be mitigated. A good HPS rifle would do a lot of that job while still being fairly lightweight and small. The main thing you want to look for with HPS (and take this with a grain of salt I'm not an HPS player) is barrel length, pressure, flow rate, and feed rate. Barrel length will change your accuracy and recoil, pressure will change your ROF mainly, flow rate will change all of those, and feed rate/capability will change how consistently and reliably the gun feeds and shoots which can affect accuracy. Actually, on top of that, I've completely forgotten hop, BB weight, and density, which entirely change how your BB flies. Just being a bit of an airsoft nerd myself I saw your flight patterns and said "those could be entirely flat and straight and you should be hitting your target"
    Don't just think of airsoft as a surrogate for firearms. As someone who's used both, they're incredibly different and you should absolutely treat them as such. You'd be surprised to find how much detail there is in the dynamics of airsoft. BB's can fly straight as an arrow, or bullet I suppose, given the right conditions. You've proved yourself someone who makes things as a result of learning. Try airsoft and you might learn a bit more :)
