Project Head Crab (Patreon)

I'm not sure why I am so enraptured by the idea of a face mask gun. I fully admit that it's really dumb. I think what makes it irresistible to me is that a) it is chock full of interesting problems and b) how can comedy not ensue? 

The technical problems that are on my mind:

1. How do you shoot a mask stably so that it correctly "lands" on someones face2. How does the mask grab someones head on contact?3. Can I make a lockable mask for repeat offenders (like hand cuffs :)4. How do I detect a face with no mask (I think this is easy by looking for a mouth)5. How do I aim and launch the mask. So much potential for neat mechanism / pneumatics / etc6. How do I detect hands and shoot them with hand sanitizer (excellent bonus idea from Discord)7. How do I make it tweet (this seems critical)The comedy potential is so vast where do I even start. Someone suggested snapping a pic of the offenders face right before the mask hits. The locking mad max mask. The weighted string mask that wraps around like a boa constrictor. Hand sanitizer gun. Wife mode. Verbal reprimands. Tweeting... This is some of the most fertile ground I've encountered for comedy and I am thrilled at the possibilities. 

That said I am not interested in shaming people who disagree with masks. I am going to be very careful how I present the invention and the comedy. People are entitled to their opinions and I don't want to be in the business of casting judgement. I just want some good clean fun building something relevant, technically interesting, and funny. 

If you have any great (or even not so great) ideas on capabilities, ways to solve the technical problems, comedy potential or anything please don't be quiet. You can comment here but discord is best since it is much easier to discuss things on there. 

I'm really excited about this one. As always I'll be posting updates in discord.
