Rampidbyter Rampid byter: A byte of my .Net developing life.

It was mentioned, somewhat out of topic of the conversation, that what a friend and I need to do is build a fully function autonomous battle bot. A sentry bot have you, but primarily for the purpose of battle. Perhaps armed with a paintball gun, or some sort of weapon to ward off unwelcome visitors. Hopefully an unwelcome visitor does not include myself during the initial phases of the project, which undoubtedly will have minor friend/foe association difficulties. The point of the matter is building a gas powered robot (that will be able to navigate the landscape surrounding the premises) is to patrol the house also there is the intent of causing general wonderment by individuals witnessing this event. Perhaps luring them into a sense of wondrous curiosity that would make them venture close to the bot. Then, at that point, we can test the robot deterrents. As my friend so quaintly pointed out the bot would need to be cheap enough for us to build, and also cheap enough for us to afford to have stolen. Without programming a ‘kill’ or arming the bot with lethal deterrents I assume at some point the scum in my area will steal it, much like they did with the cup holder tray from my truck. Again, thank you little perps for stealing that, not like I was using it for much other than holding drinks while driving, and assorted gas receipts. I still need to hunt them down as they stole my grandpas WW2 beating club that was in the truck for purpose of beating people if they attacked me, that is of course, unless they had a gun.
