1080p is kinda tiny for photography, you should look into something better.
There will probably be enough room in the tube for a full on DSLR camera if I really want to go that far. Initially that camera is about all the budget can bear. This robot crap is spendy. Once I have a working chassis I can certainly upgrade it, and I'm planning on enough thruster horsepower to give it an excellent lift capacity for it's size.

Can it kill sharks?
Why kill them when you can electrically control their brains, attach lasers to them and then use them as your robot controlled killalasersharks? But the supercavatating microtorpedos would probably do the trick If you had to.

I saw that. It would actually be pretty easy to do if that's the level of accuracy you need. That large of an extruder I personally would have used a square nozzle for, and it would be somewhat expensive to put in all the hydraulics and the solid frame and bearing rods to make it work right, but if I had access to a welder and about $75,000 in materials I could make one that would do that. You would need a concrete pump and associated hose, a 4 ram hydraulic setup with engine (one ram per frame corner) a big *** square frame, bearing surfaces for a carriage, a bunch of really big servos and a computer. I could design one really easily if someone else wants to fund it!
