A couple of years ago, I saw an on-line video of somebody who had built 
a sentry gun like you find them in Half-Life. It was a camera, one of 
those toy guns that should foam projectiles, and a couple of servos.

It would recognise a human shape and aim at the heart. If you moved, it 
started shooting you.
