I am trying to get a couple of students at school interested in the Propellor. The first attempt was a simple LED/Piezo speaker program in Spin. They successfully modified the code and did some things with it. I have now connected up an Ultrasonic Ping type device to the board and got the code going (the sample code that I downloaded from the Parallax site did not work right away for some reason). They have gone away to make a more fully featured "radar" system this week.
I have seen this Youtube video:

As a result I have ordered some servos and a USB missile launcher (If my wife finds out I will be in big trouble).
So, to the question, has anyone hacked a USB missile launcher for direct control via a propellor? I want the lads to develop a system independent of a PC if at all possible.
Ideas and suggestions welcome.
Cheers

PS I am about to laminate the Prop Chip Quick Reference sheets. Does that make me a proper Prop-Head?
