Automated sentry (paintball...for now)

I thought this was an interesting concept. Granted, its only paintball - although, from a proof-of-concept perspective, that's probably a safer alternative than some others.

There are a variety of videos that show automatic target acquisition and tracking.

Prototype 9 hints at the ability to adapt the software and computer to a variety of firearms - perhaps other than paintball.

Now isn't that neat.

I'd like to see a couple of these bad boys (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IWhaQyjiRg) attached to the system. Looks like it'd work great for pest problems.

After watching Terminator last week I think I'll pass. Maybe instead of Skynet it's really Samsung.

Edit: Found the official designation Samsung Techwin SGR-A1
