 GOAL: mount a projectile launcher onto a high power servo system and aim it with a DK2
-  * Projectile: TBD.  Candidates
-    * Foam missiles (nerf standard or possibly large)
-    * Airsoft gatling gun.  May have to build this myself...existing options expensive

+Simplification: mount the USB missile turret on the real turret.  Allows  me to re-use the camera code and not buy a separate camera

+Should probably skin/theme it.  Ideas:

+  * TF2 heavy
+  * Terminator
+    * T2 M134 scene is with Arnold but I'd probably do T-800 endoskeleton
+  * Bioshock Infinite motorized patriot

 Took another look at COTS miniguns.  Options:
-  * Echo1 M134 airsoft: perfect...except it costs $3,800
-  * Lego M134.  Pretty awesome ammo feed but doesn't actually shoot anything.  Price unknown

-  * Import plastic toys: a few on eBay.  Barrel doesn't spin and it sounds like velocity might not be that good either
