CyberTurret

Inspiration

We wanted a way to decrease cyber bullying by creating physical consequences for people

What it does

It monitors a chat room called slack and shoots anyone who curses. It also takes commands from people in the chat room to shoot at others.

How we built it

We had a USB nerf-gun turret that we used python, hubot, and a headless ras-pi instance to implement

Challenges we ran into

The turret refused to shoot people despite proper code

What we learned

We learned the hardware was often not precise and this arose issues with aiming

What's next for CyberTurret

We want to deploy a cyber turret across every router in the nation. This will greatly reduce cyber bullying through physical consequences.
