CONCEIVING AND ENGINEERING SYSTEMS

Idea
build a boat that can replicate IWCC boats

Problem Statement
airsoft guns cannot be brought on campus, so the boat must also be able to fire lasers as well. a common module must be made that can house both the laser and airsoft mechanism so that it can be easily interchanged and worked on.

Initial target goals:
target goals are to build a boat that can hold a laser module so that multiple boats can play laser tag with each other. also the boat has to be able to fire airsoft BBs as well. the armament has to be able to be fired remotely and be able to survive a marine enviroment. the airsoft and laser must be easily interchangable. It must also have sensors that can detect a laser "hit" and software that will temporarily shut down the boat to simulate a "kill".

Necessary system functions
must be able to fire airsoft BBs, must be able to fire laser beams, must be able to register a "hit" and "kill", must be able to survive a marine enviroment, airsoft parts must be able to be easily removed,

here is a link http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:39171 to a box I found on thingiverse that i plan to modify and then print on the makerbot.

Next Steps
order necessary parts as well as build a module to house the airsoft parts and the laser module, modify box found on thingiverse so that it will be watertight and able to fit the necessary components. design and build a new top cover for the boat that can hold the universal modules.
