Intro
I run an Airsoft club that promotes & hosts airsoft events in the Pacifc NW. If your unfamiliar with airsoft, it's much like paintball, just cleaner & most cost effective. We use props in our events to enhance the experience for all that come out. With field restrictions getting tighter we have found ourselves building props that are electronic instead of pyrotechnic. This leaves us with having some great ideas, but no knowledge on how to go about some of the things we want to do.
Question
We want to build a boobytrap device that opens electronically. The best way I can explain it is, imagine a box with TWO hinging doors. The doors will be spring activated to open. Attached to the doors is basically a parachute full of pellets that are catapulted out as the doors fly open.
We want these doors to have a latching device of some type, that by electronic remote, can be released to open the doors.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
