The Pitching Machine is the most dangerous machine at SRL. It
has a 'magazine' that holds 30 2x4 boards which is shot out of
the machine at 135mph, 2 boards per second. The range is about
100 yards or more. Wood will go through 1/4" steel plates and
concrete. It has a tethered joystick control for aiming and firing
as well as a web interface to allow for remote operation of the
machine. It made its tele-operated debut in Tokyo where a user
at the ICC a few miles away was able to demolish targets in Yoyogi
Park. It was coded in such a way that it can be fired continously
while the user pans and tilts the machine for a fully automatic
strafing effect.
