RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Optical mouse for DRO anyone? Synchronicity

I have a friend that goes sailing down around India and South Eats Asia.
Aparently this place is very dangerous. He has a machine gun mounted on
servo mounts up on the bow of his boat. I know that has some PC fed
automatic modes, not sure whether it's mach driven, EMC driven or what.

I don't know whether he has ever been required to use the thing. I did teach
him safe target shooting many years ago.



PS As a note to all, I was not aware of the problems with a wild gun man in
America yesterday when I brought up this subject in jest. I have always been
involved with the safe use of firearms, and marching those of our younger
generation off to a safe range as soon as they have shown any interest, so
that interest can grow in a safe controlled environment, I believe this to
be a safe responsible attitude under all situations. I hope I have not and
did not intend to offend anybody at such a difficult time.

Over at the DIY-CNC yahoo group, we have a member who uses CNC to make
parts for his "battle boats". These models engage in actual shoot-til-
you-sink-em contests, and the guns--which shoot ball bearings with C02-
-are aim-able. (One assumes to combatant are AM-i-ABLE<G>) I don't
know if they use CNC techniques to do the gun positioning; but some do
use it to build the boats and guns...

He posted a link, with pics and video. this was in Australia or New
Zealand. Funny thing was; I'd NEVER heard of it before. Less than a
week later I sold one of my desktop CNC machines to a man who HAD ONE
of these battle boats in his living room!

Funny how things happen sometimes...
