I found this link on Slashdot. I've seen a few water gun robots for spraying birds, but nothing for people. Sadly, it seems that every time someone makes a robot for spraying pests it gets more attention than our creations, but we might be able to turn the tide this year.

Re: Water gun robot
I definetly think that this would be a nice weapon for assaulting bases in a water fight.
Nice find Ben.

Yep, although it does probably depend on the range of the transmitter and on whether or not the controller is waterproof.
I suppose changes in elevation could stop the robot. Even a ramp might stop it from ascending.

Re: Water gun robot
There's my new challenge! That definitely looks like something that a robotics team put together.
BTW, Atlanta Georgia is where the FRC competition finals are held annually. Sadly, I am not going.
