The coolest thing about this?
In '09 I posted a thread about one of my potential BSEE capstone project ideas. By "idea" I mean I already did the circuit design and ballistics calculations for half a dozen loads and the I/O for integrating it with a laser rangefinder, inclinometer, barometer, and temp sensor; for an automatic adjusting RIS mounted targeting computer. What engineer worth a shit doesnt delve into a project to see if it's feasible or not?
One day my thread just got disappeared. Thought it was odd, but chalked it up to a site problem.
A month later a site sponsor introduced a much more limited, less capable, and more expensive version of what I was doing at SHOT show.
I cant remember if it was these guys or not. Not saying it is or isnt. All I remember is browsing the SHOT thread and the folks introducing the ghetto version of my project being a sponsor at the time. Just sharing my interesting, at least to me, arfcom conspiracy theory.
I ended up doing a project on tactile pattern recognition as "project demonstration" would have been an issue in a classroom environment.
Long story short, I'm glad someone is taking this further.
