RC vehicle use in airsoft

Small target on an arm connected on an off switch?

A goliath style pyro tank would be the safest option. Just use a colour of smoke thats unusual and agree a blast radius. when hit make it set off the pyro so people aren't tempted to run up to it an disable it. I would imagine that the blind firing rules are an insurance condition that would mean sites can't allow a gun fired by remote control.
Would a live feed camera count as blind fire? You could attach a phone to the robot and FaceTime it and have a live feed to the robot.

 
i don't think there's a clear answer, but its definately enough of a question for most sites to veto it being used just incase. It's getting like the USA here and people are just terrified of being sued.

i think you not being in direct control of the gun is enough to get the veto.

it's a shame as this is the kind of free-thinking awesomeness i'd love to see more of in airsoft. don't let it put you off, worse-case scenario you'll have to get people to agree to it as a special event and maybe sign a form saying they wont sue you.

If you can come up with a good couple game scenario to focus on it, you'd have a much better chance of getting it used somewhere, enough to make it a selling point to attract people, like you say letting others use it, not just something people have to endure.

maybe sceanrio where the teams have to find and aquire the remote control unit first. perhaps declare an area inbetween the two sides spawn as radioactive and can only be passed through by the RC? Have a few 'rouge' players /marshal guarding an area that can only be taken down by the RC? Or maybe somekind of hostage scenario where only the RC can enter the hostage zone without triggering a response. Just something that'd make having the RC a tactical advantage as well as amusing novelty.

That again is some goods sir (old habbit colonel so I apologise)

The next 2 sites I'm going to, I'll having a chat in the head marshalls ears and see what there views would be

Man I love this forum, so much great ideas and feedback from people

I've got no problem with everyone using what I create, its the whole point of it, get everyone involved and make it feel worth while, give a twist on things :)

 
Quite alright soldier, as you were :) (I'm keeping the rank until martin sheen sneaks into my house with a machete, although might be able to make a deal involving getting Charlie off crack...)

Keep us updated with your progress, is definately something the forum will want to see!

 
As I said before, I've the platforms (and I'm not on about the 70's shoes lol)

I need to draw out some plans of what to do

Dexterous arm

Live feed camera

Maybe a small pistol ??

 
I saw someone on you tube do a nerf sentry gun with facial recognition. Can't find the link on my phone but may be worth a look at for ideas.

 
Been doing that and saw the video your on about but when I saw a guy do it a paintball gun, that gave some ideas I put straight on paper

 
This sounds great and when I do get to going to an airsoft site I sure as hell would be more than happy to see that sort of stuff! Watching with interest! :D

 
...parents, who'd have 'em ;) ...

Nah, basically my parents don't like the idea of me running around with a replica firearm. However, I'm getting closer to being able to go airsofting. The longest time it will be is 2 years, shortest; by the summer holidays.

:)
Tell them it's paintball. It's how I explain the game to people. Paintball without the mess and more tactical and tell them it will help develop you because it's all team work and effective communication all great things to have on the old C.V :D
