Designed and built by SISU DEVICES for National Instruments:
Two cameras (located inside the blue LED ring lights) triangulate the position of the incoming dart. Large servo motors activate a four bar linkage to intercept the dart by moving the target 0.5M in less than 100 mSec! The system includes an optical sensor on the gun which measures exit velocity of the dart and a conductive fabric mesh sensor on the target which measures time of flight and computes distance from the gun to the target. Music themes of "Star Wars," "The Good the Bad and the Ugly," as well as "Rocky" are added just for fun. Sound effects of bullet ricochets or light saber crashes sound off when the dart hits the target.
