UGV with Turret - MilSim/Training Product

This is a prototype UGV built to use in airsoft/milsim events. It uses a six-wheeled mobility scooter base for movement and a custom built pan/tilt mounted airsoft gun turret for shooting.

The base is controlled via an XBox controller that is paired to a micorcontroller/servo-controller combo hooked up to the electric motors, which are powered by two car batteries. The turret is controlled by an R/C controller hooked up to multiple servos that provide pan, tilt, firing of the airsoft gun, and a self destruct grenade. Video and audio signal is fed via an FPV camera mounted on the turret.

For balancing gameplay with the UGV, there are two hit plates to detect BB hits at the base of the turret (front and back). The health of the UGV is indicated by LED strips located above each hit plate. The LEDs will flash when a hit is detected, and the health bar will shrink. When health reaches zero, it will flash red and beep.
