Those projects are all rip-offs of the original by Inventgeek. i really hate it when people take ideas as there own. they may have a differing method of doing it and i give kudos for that. but its not your idea, just your improvement on an existing well publicized idea.

Yeah, there is no way he thought it up on his own. Maybe two people had the idea, it's not all that amazing of an idea. But it's cool that he did it.

Sorry but you are wrong. I'm pretty sure I started my project before that. Also, if the idea of automated weapons systems is patented by thinkgeek... I'm pretty sure there are a few million Movies out there with impending law suits.

Does inventgeeks turret shoot circles? Can it shoot at a laser pointer? Does it have any vision capabilities at all?

It was a cool project, don't get me wrong. But if you're going to compare the two, the write word should be an IMPROVEMENT, not a ripoff.
