About this deal

The gun on the Terrascout is a rapid-firing, motorized Nerf gun similar in design to the Rapidstrike, but shorter and built on a motorized mount rather than a gun grip. We found that re-training the system when in a new setting instead of reusing old photos helped a lot with the accuracy of facial recognition, as did and having subjects look straight at the camera. One problem we ran into when using the USB camera is that the OpenCV capture function has an internal 5 frame buffer. Then we broke out the old trusty measuring wheel and recorded the distance from the furthest dart back to the shooting point. The Nerf NER Elite Trilogy DS 15 is a favorite for the simple fact that it shoots three darts at once.

By optimizing our code to spread tasks across the Raspberry Pi’s cores, we could overcome the range and speed issue as a larger image could be processed faster. With the set handle on top and the 15-round rotating cylinder, this thing can send foam balls very far and at a very rapid rate. Now that we can recognize faces in the current frame, we need to be able to select a target and adjust our servo positions so that the Nerf gun is centered at the target. It's a quieter and more reliable firing system than the flywheels used in guns like the Nerf Stryfe, which spins up a pair of wheels into which darts are fed by a lever connected to the trigger. To generate the PWM signals that drive the servos, we decided to use the PiGPIO library, which utilizes the hardware PWM channels on the Raspberry Pi.

Additionally, we found that using hardware PWM through the PiGPIO library greatly improved the stability of our servos compared to software PWM.

Just behind the Rival Roundhouse XX-1500 in our range experiment was another one of our favorite manual-powered models, the Nerf N-Strike Strongarm Blaster.

We replaced the switches that controlled both of these functions with long wires attached to relays.It also performed facial recognition that was mostly accurate, although it would occasionally identify the wrong subjects. Step-01 Servo pusher David 3D-printed most of the parts for his Nerf firing mechanism, including the servo pusher.

Therefore, we set the change in pulse width to be the difference between the current x and y coordinates of the center of the target face and (160, 120), the center of the frame.The next dart is gravity fed, and simply falls into place, making it quite a rapid firing micro tank. The images are displayed on the piTFT screen along with the current sample number so that users can track progress through the training step as well as picture quality. Controlled manually using a wireless PS3 joypad, FRED-209 can fire multiple foam darts at the chosen target(s).

The Pokonboy is a single shot, so you have to load a dart and set the blaster every time you want to shoot. We take 40 samples, which we found was quick to attain and still sufficiently accurate for our facial recognition algorithm. The Nerf gun needed to be fully automatic as we wanted the ability to continually fire at our targets.The entire front cylinder has to rotate every time you want to shoot, making this Nerf gun a bit hard to set. We used position control servos, so the duration of the PWM signal determines the position the rotor will turn to. Our only complaint with the Nerf N-Strike Strongarm is that it takes longer to load than many other models. To confirm that it is identifying people correctly, we added a textbox to each person's face and printed their name in it.
