    @hater001: Before I can acknowledge your scathing critique of my work, I need to know what a "coment" is. Your spelling and grammar are otherwise perfection, so I can only assume that it's a thing I haven't heard of and not simply a sloppy mis-spelling of "comment."

    When designing autonomous robots, one should probably refrain from choosing any colors that fall anywhere on the colorwheel near "flesh tone". Black to tan to pinkish-white is out. I'd suggest blue as the target color, but that's a good way to put out somebody's eye and waste ammo on a sunny day.

    It looks as though the robot, after calculating the poor odds of it leading a more meaningful life in retirement from being a stationary sentry gunner, decided to give up.

    I'm not sure what kind of competition Mech Warfare is, but this needs a lot of work. It still has two big problems, It only stops shooting after it doesn't see the target any more. What happens when you mark the target and it doesn't disappear? It only searches in front of itself. Its a goner to any attack from behind.

    I remember an old old article in Pop Sci, maybe Mechanix Illustrated about some guys who made radio controlled scale model battleships with REAL guns! (Sawed off and modified hunting rifles). They would reenact naval battles, and one guy actually got shot!

    BB's! Fap!
