  1. Please do elaborate on your foreseen problems. That's part of the fun of doing this.
  2. The existing HakHouse missile system already employs a Java based queuing system - http://www.hakhouse.com/missile/ - I wouldn't think it would be too hard to scale that code to something larger with more inputs.
  3. And just for the hell of it. A mockup WebGUI for a mockup WebTank. Could be one page with full control or multiple pages for individual functions.
  4. I don't think software would be limiting factor - (nor do I know the processing overhead for any given webcam) - but I'd be seriously surprised if a Fon 2.0 could handle all of the following simultaneously... The video feed from 5 webcams (3 stationary + 2 attached to each launcher [not pictured] as per the current HakHouse turret) At least one audio feed from one of the webcam mics Fwd/Rvs independent motor control for the two treads (ideally with incremental control, e.g. click forward once on the WebGUI and travel forward 6 inches in physical reality) Servo or stepper control for the main turret IRC client Display of IRC output to VFD Battery status monitor (perhaps overlaid on one of the webcam feeds and/or VFD) Then again, perhaps it's just a question of bandwidth. I'd be curious to see how much processing a Fon 2.0 could handle.
  5. Ok, granted we're getting a little into John Connor fantasy land - but that's the point of a concept, right? Version 2.0: RC tank chassis used as based - probably easier to control two treads either going forward or reverse Much larger battery Ability to self charge via dock Greatly increased range of motion Twin USB launchers with independent control Ustream chat display Fonera router with USB - I know the HakHouse has a bunch of these laying around 3 fixed position webcams for driving "awareness" Possible need for an ITX based linux system due to greatly added hardware complexity -- -- -- -- -- Note: nothing is necessarily to scale - just kind of shoot from the hip brainstorming.
  6. Nice vector skills artistan - you've got the eye.
  7. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has seen the web-enabled USB missile launcher with queuing and had this idea... NASA's got one, perhaps it's time for Hak5 to join the club. I ran across this page describing in great detail how an RC truck chassis, webcam, and DD-WRT Linksys (with dual serial port mod) can make a web-enabled mobile A/V platform. http://www.jbprojects.net/projects/wifirobot/ I've slapped together a few quick and dirty renders of what I thought a Hak5 version might look like... enjoy. Now with driver and gunner. And, of course, optional hardpoints could be included so the Rover serves a greater purpose than just firing foam missiles. The possibilities are really endless -some with greater potential than others- could also be used as a mobile platform for the weaponized pineapple (let loose in a mall), a dedicated in house beer courier, mobile camera mount, protege for Evil Server, etc...
  8. I think Evil Server has lost a few battles over the years. BTW - maybe this was covered in an early episode - but what is that HAL 9000 orb modded into his case? Where did it come from? I've never seen one quite that substantial.
  9. Evil Server - National Flag Style - rocking the side mounted USB missile launcher a la Mozambique. I couldn't figure out a better place to post the .eps, if there is one, would someone let me know; http://www.filedropper.com/evil-server-flag-primerig 4 colors...
