I was just wondering what kind of servo and rotary would you need to be able to move a paintball gun (weight: 2lbs 15 ounces).

So you're not into paint ball? But do know aboutzunayed wrote: Me and my friends would like to build one rather then just purchase it.
hardware and software?
I understand. Do you have any of the hardwarezunayed wrote:It would give us practice with servo boards and programming and overall just be much more satisfying to know we made it ourselves
or written any software already?
Do you have a paint ball gun? TV camera?
So you have two concurrent tasks. Use the webcamzunayed wrote:Yea we do have a paintball gun and the camera we are going to be using is a webcam which we can manipulate through mat lab and then eventually c++ or C#.
and your own software to detect a moving object.
You can estimate the magnitude of the object by
reviewing the youtube video where they track a
ball dropped from a rooftop.
The second task is to attach the paint ball gun to
a X-Y-Z mechanism and provide servos that move
it around. (but I guess you're already ahead of me,
and that prompted your first question).
Do you have the paint ball gun attached to a platform?
