Machine Gun Sentry Robot
I figured this is definitely Class 3 hardware.
Samsung’s $200,000 Machine Gun Sentry Robot
Dont miss the dramatic sales video!
The targeting system seems pretty impressive.==============
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!”
~Samuel Adams

I wouldn't want to be on the business end of that piece of hardware.

And I thought samsung only made phones and such. That's what my home defense needs, very cool. Loved what it did to that target!

Re: Machine Gun Sentry Robot
Wonder what the weapon system is? It looks like a standard M16 style grip poking out from underneath the pod. Maybe a MINIMI or some such paltform. Could see the belt being fed in the last few seconds.

Re: Machine Gun Sentry Robot
That thing is very low tech. Look at how poor the tracking is on moving targets. Of course it will shoot a nice group, it's pretty much a stationary mounted machine gun. It's just moved with hardware. The software is god awfully cheap though. I'd be more afraid to have it on my side. It would start shooting our base.
