University Student Creates Working Portal Turret

The title pretty much says it all folks.

As a final project for his Advanced Mechatronics class at Penn State University, this student has taken a couple foam dart launchers, a processor and some wiring and made some magic. Programmed on MATLAB and Arduino, the turret tracks the hideous pink shirt of its creator and executes him with extreme prejudice, all the while spouting the cute/creepy lines we all know and love from the Portal games. Check out the video below

Now if that isn’t a reason to stay in school, I don’t know what is!
