Here’s how German engineering student Britt Liv Ulrike Michelsen turned a Nerf gun into a robot. First, she connected the toy’s electric motor to a microcontroller and a laptop computer, upgraded the firing spring to make it shoot faster and more accurately then connected the toy to a servo-driven stand, which allows it to swivel back and forth. Finally, she added a webcam and the open-source program Project Sentry Gun to make the device automatically track and attack anything that moves.
