Detects. Aims. Shoots. Talks! Complete functional replica, able to shoot water (for the summer) or airsoft pellets (for the winter)

Still not daring to be in front of the cannons until we receive our laser safety goggles, and thus still using the same silly video, but we're pretty proud of the improvements nonetheless!

Calibration is not perfect but it works, and hardware control has been optimized a great deal. We've also implemented burst laser shots, to emulate the real weapon.

Next up: attaching the weapons, integrating a laser/sonar rangefinder, and printing out a realistic Portal Turret-like housing!
