Though Colin's current robot is his own design and uses his own programing pieced together from existing code, I helped him with some of the mechanics of the first evolution of his defcon bot. I can assure you that the first prototype was working not long after January 1st. The idea of an automated gun may not be unique, but colins designs and programing are original. While he has used portions of other peoples code to help identify targets and lock on them, the credit for the success of the final product should be given solely to colin. In all the discussions Ive had with him about designs, problems, knew directions for the device, I have never once heard the name Inventgeek. Ever. I have yet to actually look it up and find out what it is. You wanna rip on someone, try to build this yourself and you'll figure out that the only moron in the room is you. Piss off
