That freakin' gun created a third nipple!

I see a market in this.

Dude! Was that last pic of someone who was shot by a ping pong ball?!!? Gah! We're going to need a LOT of empty cans this year! haha

Yeah, the IVU gun is really cool. Check out some of the pics from constructing the custom paintball->high pressure hose connector:

In initial tests, the ping pong ball can dent a can about half way through, and fire about 30'.

This is going to be too cool!

We're coming down to the wire here, who's got a bot that's going to be ready?

::Announcement::
IVU has decided to open up their bot for everyone to use at con! Try your hand at shooting down drink cans with a paintball gun modified to shoot ping pong balls (long sentence, but it's still cool!). Pay a small fee at the event, half of which goes to the EFF, winners get prizes! So even if you haven't been able to build your own bot, you can still take part in the festivities.
