RE: Cat Scarers ?

["James,Daniel" <Daniel.James@xxxxxxx>]

Ahh but it doesn't have any pan or tilt :-)
- now wheres the fun in that?

Perhaps a stage further would be to combine something like this with a
transmitter on each cat.. so that the device could "home" in :-)

(I know getting the transmitter into the cat could be tricky... but what
about an air rifle bullet sized transmitter? :-)

Daniel,

Funnily enough you can already get one of these:

What about a combination of:

A hose pipe.

A PC Servo control board:
http://www.milinst.com/animatronics/animatronics.htm
and a couple of servos

and an RS water pipe solenoids

(The RS number is 342-023 and they also do the mating copper bit 363-6517.
They cost 9.43 and about 1.45 respectively + VAT of course)

Then you can have a remote control pan and tilt soaker...

Add in a Webcam for good measure... and then you could soak them from work
:-)

Daniel
