A project log for The Hackaday Sticker Gun

I hand out a lot of Hackaday stickers when I'm at events. This will allow me to hand out even more stickers

I'm noticing a severe lack of coolness when I hand out hackaday stickers at events. I need a gun. A gun that shoots stickers at people.

The basic idea is something like one of those Nerf gun disk shooters that use a small DC motor to shoot foam discs. It's somewhat loud - thus cool - and they can shoot pretty far. I'll go with something like that.

Ammo will be 1" round stickers from stickermule. They need to be round for obvious reasons, and we're already using stickermule for hackaday stickers. Here's what they'll look like:

That'll only be 1" in diameter. Small. very small, but that's what you get when you need a ton of cheap ammo.

Files in the github, although right now that's just a test jig for the magazine. Three lines of openscad.

Oh, I'll be using a 2300KV brushless motor to shoot the stickers out and a 2 cell LiPo to power it. That's 17,000 RPM. Holy crap.
