I previously built two proton packs in tandem, which had a whole host of electronics and features, if you haven't seen them, please check out the feature video:
The problem with these, was the weight. Although they were only 7.5kg, this was a considerable amount to carry on our backs for 10 hours at a con. My GF and I really suffered, and are keen to reduce the weight as much as possible, thus inspiring V2. Along with the weight reduction, I was also keen to cram as much tech into the new packs as possible.
Features include:
Louder sound system
Plasma tube in the barrel
Extending barrel, on a motor controlled by gears
Rumble mechanism in the thrower
Blutooth hooked up to my Holtzmann Armband Unit to control ejection of proton pistols in pack LOOK HERE
Ejecting "proton pistols" in pack on servos
Lots of lights and stuff
Mostly 3D printed parts
I will be documenting the build over on my youtube channel. I've so far completed two videos, which go into a bit more depth on the above ideas. I'll also be posting the updates to this thread during the build.
Here's Part 1, which is an R&D video:
...and here's part 2 which discusses more of the 3D printed aspects:
