I have a claymore, sure!

Seeing that makes me think, “A swing and a miss!”

Adding a camera and OpenCV, how hard would it be to get it to hit a ball?

I would gladly donate 10 watermelons to the cause if you put a claymore into that things hand and go to town on them.

I had to think about the context on that one. I was expecting the other “claymore”

Rats!
This bot’s only got 1 hand…

I know what both claymores are, but the mine is the first to come to mind. Lol

Same here. I couldn’t imagine throwing a claymore. Would be fun to see one detonated in the robots hand though.:grinning:

We would need a hand first … we will be hosting a build-you-own robot once we have the class planned and you ware welcome to take your robot out to a range somewhere and blow it up … we should video it

If there was any way of getting so it could cut a watermelon wih a knife of sword mad here
It would be a wonderful addition to the Open Housde

It is a whole lot more entertaining to lock bots in an arena and watch them attempt to destroy each other.
