I thought I would do a little research on paintball robotics and mini tanks that have already been done, and show what the possibilities are with R/C. Its one of those day dream paintball deals, thats prolly been around since people knew about paintball and R/C, with the help of the common imagination. But its not really that far fetched, and could easily become a reality that could show up on the field one day, rules permiting. Anyhow take a look at some of these robotic paintball gadgits. They're very cool! And some could be easily reproduced alot cheaper than the normal paintball tank. This is an R/C tank platform with a funtional turent. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhJpYHz38PAwww.youtube.com/watch?v=BS9pGOxQ10QHere is a motion sensor paintball turret in the makings! Why use mines and demo when you drop this off in the enemies HQ? lol www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvAhtnqewpcThis isnt R/C, but its the sweetest mini tank ever. I love this thing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mILNFJcLmlgHere are some pics to look at> Looks like team "Old Man Malitia" forgot one of they're wheel chairs again! lol Paintball Sherman Why leave the kids at home? Give em something usefull to do. Like commanding a tank! Some people just like they're R/C a bit to much!
