- Are you tired of manually loading and aiming your nerf gun? Well, say goodbye to those tedious days and hello to the future of nerf warfare!
In this video, I'll be building a self-loading nerf turret that uses an Arduino Mega microcontroller and an OpenMV camera to track faces. With this bad boy, you'll be able to automatically target and shoot your friends and family in the face (with nerf darts, of course) in no time at all.

The view counter seems to be broken. I thought it had at least 100k views
Hopefully CZcams fixes that soon haha
same lol
Exceptional work!, Not only on the project but the video itself. I found the speed and multiple steps of the machine's first shot very funny while being blown away by its Rube Goldburg with a degree-style mechanical design. The idea that you challenged yourself to load and cock the blaster really makes this unique and next level over than much simpler nerf turrets out there. I've Subscribed, and eagerly await your next work (no pressure to rush though)..now just tell me where to send the money so I can build my own.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I don't have any plans on releasing this thing (yet). Currently working on version 2 and have many more projects planned. Stay tuned!
I love the block and tackle design!
This is.. too underrated. The video is amazing and the way you edit is so good! Nice project. (and channel)
Def. high quality as heck for you being such a small channel. You deserve SO many followers and I believe you'll get them if you keep making awesome stuff and sharing it here. Keep up the good work :) Subbed right away
Awesome job man! As someone who is also starting to post my builds I know you will shortly gain a huge following!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Ohohoho, that is lovely overengineered solution to a simple "problem". I can't wait for ver. 2.0 :DDDDDD
Never saw someone use this mechanismus for increased power but a really cool idea
Thanks! I was inspired by Smarter Every Day's video on snatch blocks
Looking forward to seeing more projects! This channel has a lot of potential
Respect man, dig the engineering [and the music!], also cracked me up haha I needed this
Great video bro, love the design. Keep up the good work!
the pully system is genius! Great job!!!
(THIS IS THE FIRST VID ON THE CHANNEL AND ALREADY AT ALMOST 200 SUBS, NICE! )
Keep up the good work. :)
really cool stuff, im doing a similar thing for my computer science coursework just without the nerf gun
Happy that i discovered this Channel
The intro to this video just reminds me of my child when he was younger :')
Very cool project! So much effort, and engineering. Keep going!
Thanks, that's the plan!
Really impressive !
as someone who did this with a stryfe, props to you for using a jolt :D
fun video, keep 'em coming!
Subbed. Awesome project!
Awesome, thank you!
Nice project! Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
Wow... You are exceptional.
nice project 🔥🔥
This is excellent! I'm watching for more.....
Machine vision rumba style nerf dart collection and clip loading robot next?
Nice work!
Thanks!
Awesome projetc. I know this will become viral
Thanks!
NERF TURRET 2.0, DEAR GOD
This is about to blow up
I sure hope so!
Awesome!
Sick!!
Nice project! Video could do an audio(effects, music. not audio recording) and pacing upgrade. Subbed!
Thanks for the input! Hopefully you'll like the next video better
Awesome turret, senpai! Mind if I copy and resize your nerf dart reloading mechanism for my own mini rocket launcher? It'll be a blast, promise!
This is very cool. I was thinking of doing something similar and that's how I found this video. I don't have a 3D printer though, or any experience with arduino or powering servos like that. Just some coding experience. Do you happen to have a rough estimate on how much the parts cost was to make this (minus the 3D printing stuff). I have an arduino uno, but that's about it. Also any links to the facial recognition model.
Keep it up and can't wait to see the next version.
The cost of electronics for my turret was about $250. Taking out the dart loading components, the distance sensor, the batteries, and the Arduino Mega, the price goes down to about $150 with most of that cost going towards the ~$80 OpenMV H7 camera and the two $20 Zoskay servos.
The developers of the OpenMV camera have their own programming IDE with a ton of example scripts. I basically combined two of their example scripts to get my camera to work. You can find more information on the camera on their website (openmv.io/) or their CZcams channel (www.youtube.com/@OpenMVLLC)
You could definitely make a face tracking pan and tilt with a couple servos and some hot glue. I'd recommend checking out this video to get started: czcams.com/video/bOXZgV0lVOY/video.html&ab_channel=GlevoTec
I'd also recommend checking out adafruit.com. They have tons of parts and tons of tutorials for beginners.
this is really cool. I'm working on a projectl like this myself. Do you plan on sharing your code?
Ganhou mais um inscrito!
Hi, this is honestly one of the best videos that I've seen about projects like this! I love the level of integration and the design of the project. I'm just starting out in electronics, and I have been thinking about a project just like this, except with flywheels.
May I ask how you designed everything? what software did you use and what is the general process of making something like this? How do you plan things out ahead of time so they all work together? Thanks!!
I'm glad you liked it!
I used SolidWorks to design everything but it's not the most accessible. Fusion 360 is a good alternative with plenty of tutorials. As far as the general design process, I start with an issue that needs to be solved and sketch out a few ideas. From there I design my favorite idea and test it out and make iterative changes based on what worked and what didn't. What I didn't show in this video was all of the parts that didn't work haha. Most of the parts for this were remade 2 or 3 times with some of the more complicated parts being redone 4 or 5 times. Basically start small, test as you go, and build upon what works.
It may look like it went together flawlessly the first time, but it didn't. I'll try and show more of my design process and failures for my next video.
@@pb.projectbox Thanks for the reply! looking forward to your next video :)
Here before this blows up
I sure hope it does! The next video should be even better
Nice project. Btw what drawer app are you using on your tablet? :D I pretty like it!
Thanks! I use an app called Concepts. It's available for Android and IOS
It's a good video but I need a walkthrough to build it myself.
on openMV how is it you have all them examples?
Micheal reeves if he wasn't a failure
instead of flywheel, have you tried track launch, yes two flywheels and launch track
also air pressure launch should be super fast too
why not just normal spring load clip, with a tray, maybe even going up the side of the launch chamber, then sideways push-in, to keep stuff not crushing in wrong places
geronimo
How to get this projects files and code?
Pleaseeeee make more
More is on the way! Stay tuned
I found you Ethan
👀
bro can i get the files pls
Can you share the 3d files for the turret assembly ?
I don't have any plans to release the files yet, but that could definitely change if enough people are interested.
Very very interested. My 8 year old son and I were just talking about building something like this!@@pb.projectbox
I need the codes please.
Have a nice day, can you sell this project to me? by making a small change
please
please
please
please🥺
