<p>If you've ever wanted to fire a paintball gun but were too nervous because it looks scary and is really loud and what if the paint splatters on your clothes, we've got good news for you.</p>
<p><!--more-->A Washington D.C.-based creative agency called <a href="http://istrategylabs.com/2013/03/meet-paintbot-an-arduino-powered-paintball-gun-just-tweet-to-shoot/">iStrategyLabs</a> has <a href="http://www.geek.com/articles/geek-cetera/shoot-an-arduino-based-paintbull-gun-with-a-tweet-2013039/">rigged</a> a paintball gun to an Arduino, allowing it to respond to commands sent via the web. The team then created a hashtag, #ISLPaint, and programmed the PaintBot so that every time you include the hashtag with a tweet, it fires a paintball at the whiteboard.</p>
<p>As DVice <a href="http://www.dvice.com/2013-3-10/meet-paintball-gun-responds-your-tweets">points out</a>, there's no livestream of the stunt, so you can't exactly watch your tweet trigger the PaintBot, but it's a neat little trick. We're hoping a livefeed will be incorporated in PaintBot 2.0.</p>
