Have you ever wanted to have a Nerf battle with your friends but you were missing a hand? Well the collective at Hackerloop has solved that problem. In a report from TechCrunch, the group used a Nerf Swarmfire, along with some 3d printing, a microcontroller, and some electrodes to create a Nerf prosthetic for Nicoalas Huchet.

Things like this are fantastic. I love seeing engineers and tinkerers coming together to make cool stuff like this. 21st Century MacGyver stuff right here.

In the past, Hackerloop has worked on other creative hacks. The team built a replica of the house in “Up” using paper and foam and sent it above Paris to post photos on Instagram using a Raspberry Pi. They also worked on the Nosulus Rift, a VR fart simulator to promote Ubisoft’s South Park game (The Fractured But Whole). Every time you fart in the video game, the Nosulus Rift emits a flatulence smell.
 
....Aaaaand then the police show up to ruin the fun. Can't have a guy playing around with his clearly non-threatening nerf gun prosthesis in the 21st century.
 
I really enjoy watching positive tech videos that showcase the seemingly endless possibilities for the innovation of today that are only limited by ones imagination.

The security guards in this one clearly had to have the whole thing explained to them as they are trained to take situations like this pretty serious unfortunately.
 
This and the advancement of AI will lead to the birth of the Strogg.
 
Not going to lie.. Seen so much porn that I thought I saw electrodes hooked up to some fleshy sac for a sec.... jesus.. help me..
 
We are the Borg. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.
