We just eyed PDI's BorMar
paintball gun on display at this week's Risk Control in
Tokyo (RISCON) exhibition, which wants its goers to "control risk to the fullest despite unavoidable difficulty." Apparently the BorMar can be hooked up to a
robot for automated paintball firing up to 15m (49ft) and is ideally used in unmanned areas like a parking lot at night to splatter miscreants with bright red paint (or other assorted colors) if they trespass. Say, those Japanese engineers can make just about
anything work with a robot right? We've got a spare
Roomba around here somewhere.
