I really like the idea of battles with other bots. It runs remote control with xbox controllers so we could setup match between people also. For the detection device we could have some catch on top like a Frisbee golf goal or something that you hit. I am not sure what would be good for a sensor to detect a target getting hit though. Any ideas.

The ping pong game would be fun but really hard but we might be able to do a Pong game where one robot shoots the ball and the other has to block the ball. That would get really interesting


Once i get home i can post some more detailed picture of the shooter. It is very simple and built from things just around the house. Good eye on the pixy camera. We are using that for vision. I am not to happy with it though it keeps loosing its configuration.
