Ohhh mama, we have high torque servos - fully operational.

"oh, I'm afraid that the radio controlled mumbo jumbo will be quite operational when your friends arrive."

Can't wait to get the 10k pot installed so I can hear the sound effects!!

Gonna have the gun recoil in time with flashing green LED's in the barrel ends too?

Ok Maybe the coolest thing about this photo is the ... wait for it... accidental forced perspective... Look a the Awesomeness of the barrel assembly in the foreground compared to the equally awesome (compressed) barrel assembly on the bench... and what I can only assume is a stand in for a blaster bolt... "Would you look at the size of that thing..."

Too F'n Cool!

Recoil, with flashing white LEDs... I guess I should get green!

In that video, you are looking at the elevation and recoil servos, and the geared motor was hooked up to the tank drive control... I'll switch it over to rotation as soon as I finish the wiring harness

Too Cool.

Too bad you don't have enough room in the turret to insert two green laser pointers:lol
