Hello, I’m noob here…currently tryng to make a DOGO replica using my 3d printer. this mini UGV can shoot using Glock 26. is it still in this forum’s scope? or OOT…? :D

    I plan to use APM/Pixhawk for this…I have some of those boards laying around collecting dust.what do you think?

      Never heard of apm/pixhawk? I have a few d9fferent raspberry pi boards, I’ve done a few different projects with them but im definitely not a pro. Bought an arduino recently to use for temp/humidity sensors for my greenhouse, but havent got around to it yet. Id definitely say pi would be easier than arduino to pull off.

        Pixhawk is a flight controller,people usually use it for DIY drones. We can configure it using Mission Planner software (free),there are some options …what you want it to be…multicopter drone,plane, or rover…and APM is the predecessor of pixhawk.

          I’ve never used any, but I have seen 3d printed impact grenades for drones, so that would be cool. But a rover that could shoot a gun would be pretty bad ass too. Damn, idk… kinda feel like a drone would be the easiest option, but im ignorant on the subject, so im just guessing here

              That is very interesting… How much weight can they handle? Does it just depend how big the motor or propeller things are?

                yes…I’m modifying a ready off the shelf drone,DJI Inspire 1.you can google its max payload…around 3400 grams.there are some videos on YT about people testing its lifting capability.the challenge are how to mount the gun and how to design the recoil compensator…I have to make a completely new frame design for it,so I can attach/swap many kind of payload underneath its belly…i.e aerial mapping camera(s), net gun for catching drone, or gun,etc…actually my main purpose is using this old drone to carry heavy sensor for earth exploration,while carrying gun is just for fun/experiment. Anyway,is there any design of recoilless gun here? :D
