I want this to be real if only for the inevitable IoT vulnerability that leaves them open for remote exploitation.

Why don't kids play outside anymore?

cant wait to practice my bow and arrow on these, just like i did with the red light cameras the county installed a decade ago.

If you've got a half dozen engineers with a garage and some free time you could probably slap together a minimum viable product batman robot. I know a lot of engineers, there's some really freaky shit possible now with 3d printers, CNC machines, and arduinos. with 75k Euro you could definitely get some kind of prototype up and running. Folks make mostly functioning airsoft auto-turrets with old laptops and a few servos, using open-source software to train the targetting system.

remember Palestinian military forces were building modern tandem-warhead RPG rounds in tunnels while under Israeli blockade. Engineers are scary as shit and constitute a strategic military resource that should be monitored and strictly regulated.

To be perfectly honest, it wouldn't stop someone dedicated

Not to mention, even if it did work, you just know it's going to just fuck up like every smart product

Lots of chuds getting themselves drilled in the eyes or groin and dying in their driveways

I did a thing (Boy Boy's bigger channel) literally already did this for a bit lmao

sure hope no one puts on protective gear and then vandalizes the shit out of this until it is smoking wreckage

There are much simpler and cheaper traps available to deter robbers. They, like this painball gun would be, are all definitely illegal because they would injure paramedics and firefighters doing their jobs.

And thats the issue with this. Unless they've already set up a gratuity to get this past the courts, this won't pass legal muster
