DIY USB Servo-Guided Water Gun
An anonymous reader writes "What better way is there to learn something than by making your own DIY gadget? Here's a new video showing how to use a common hobby servo, in conjunction with a small water pump, to create a USB controlled water gun! You can use your keyboard to aim and fire at an unsuspecting passerby. Both fun and educational, this project looks like a great DIY weekend project for any IT guy, wanting to make sure people think twice before asking a stupid question!"
Umm... more to the point, its a water gun. Am I the only one who doesn't want a water gun by my computer?
On the other hand, just today I was contemplating building a servo mounted nerf gun, that would seem to be more appropriate for use by an "IT guy".
Surely this stuff should be on the idle section of slashdot!

To do something right, you often have to roll up your sleeves and get busy.
