Aimbot V1 was not successful in creating real-life aim assist due to issues with a custom barrel, stepper motors, and a 3D depth camera.
Aimbot V2 was intended to address V1's problems but was never fully completed, leading to a year-long pause in the project.
Aimbot V3 represents a significant upgrade from V2, featuring an overbuilt design and four main components: target detection, barrel movement, firing mechanism, and software.
The project shifted to an all-metal construction for durability and accuracy, departing from 3D printing.
Industrial-grade black and white cameras with zoom lenses were chosen for accurate target positioning, with the ability to adjust resolution and region of interest for faster frame rates.
Infrared LEDs were used to illuminate retroreflective markers on targets, enhancing detection by the cameras.
The aimbot's design incorporated cameras directly next to the barrel to eliminate inaccuracies caused by movement between them.
Powerful industrial servos were employed to move the barrel and cameras, necessitating a chain drive system due to high torque.
The firing system was revamped to use off-the-shelf Airsoft parts for improved functionality and reliability.
A unique hopper design with rotating wheel and spring wire feed system was developed to efficiently load Airsoft BBs into the firing chamber, ensuring reliable operation.

Gears wear out quickly, so new ones were 3D printed and cast in durable material using silicone molds.
Resin used for casting required post-curing in an oven for full strength, followed by machining for mounting holes.
Initial gears broke due to overtightening on the drive shaft, leading to recasting and remachining with gentler installation.
Backup gears were made with industrial-grade metal-filled resin for potential future breakage.
Targeting system developed to handle multiple targets, requiring wide-angle camera adjustments and code fixes for efficient shooting.
Moving target tracking involved software adjustments to predict target paths, necessitating extensive code optimization for faster processing.
