    I wasn't totally satisfied with my previous basketball hoop so I made another try at the problem. This time with robots and computer vision! I designed and build this hoop from the ground up with the goal of tracking the ball and directing it into the hoop by tilting the backboard. It works pretty well. My old solid state hoop is old news. Long live our robot overlords.
    I wonder what V3 will look like...

      Actually only the exaust gasses would go that fast, if the ball were going that fast it would create a second sonic boom, in fact the us military uses the crack bang method to estimate how far snipers are from them, if a sniper is more than a few hundred yards away there will be a noticeable difference from when you hear the crack of the bullet and the bang of the exhaust gasses.

If you could engineer a time machine that would be great. Also I greatly appreciate the balance of practical knowledge/laughs in your videos.

      I've never been confused about how someone has achieved what they've achieved until this video. Everyone else either takes a lot of time, has excess money for the express purpose of producing the videos, outsources the parts they don't know, works in a team, etc.
      He has this giant room full of industrial-strength equipment, appears to have about 2 separate degrees worth of engineering skills + practical experience, looks about 23, has apparently no obligations on his time right now, channel isn't funding him, did all this stuff himself, has a wife so obviously not working on this 100% of the time... and even all that would be barely comprehensible if this took 2 or 3 months but he did it in THREE WEEKS. I'm going to be thinking about this for days. I feel like I'm watching some fake video by the CIA meant to make me think that one person did all this in three weeks to intimidate a foreign enemy.

      It makes no sense. Mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, programming, physics, math, machining and 3d printing, all that on top of artistic skills and being able to produce and edit video which is already difficult, expensive, and time consuming. I have no doubt in my mind that this guy can do literally anything he puts his mind into.

    Your first shot- you throw the ball - POW - the backboard launches the ball through the roof and nearly into orbit - you sit in awe. The math was correct though... The ball does one full rotation around the earth- nothing but net.

The software here is arguably impressive for its simplicity - mark’s hardware is another level up from this but obviously took wayyyy longer to build up. I have more than a basic understanding of what’s going on but the computational limits that we’re seeing here are a huge factor.

    This hoop is cooler than the previous one but I'm still not satisfied. If you miss the backboard it doesn't go in. How totally lame is that. I think I need to fix that problem...
    For all the programmers: I don't normally do my development on windows. I needed the kinect SDK to develop this which only runs on windows (there's a whole studio for recording and playing back streams, putting breakpoints in them and stuff like that - it's actually really nice). I used python for development speed but I should port to C++. I'm normally an OSX dev.
    Also, a bunch of people have asked about why I move at the last minute - the reason that I don't begin moving immediately is that it is very common for the estimated trajectory to change in a way that requires a direction reversal (i.e. the estimates don't monotonically approach the correct solution). If that happens, I have to decelerate to a stop then accelerate in the other direction. In the worst case moving one side to the other. I did some basic analysis on this and it seemed on average better to move at the last possible minute. The other issue with a direction reversal is that it gives double the system jerk (rate of change of acceleration) due to going from full positive acceleration to full negative acceleration. This causes bigger mechanical vibrations which can lead to all kinds of issues.

But the ability to create these awesome side projects probably would have sold me. I know it's not an easy career path and you have to bust your ass.

    Love the concept of a can't miss hoop, and appreciate the engineering and programming that went into this version as well as the others. Not sure if someone has suggested this already, but could you get similar results with a regulation backboard that doesn't tilt in either direction but instead is made up of a grid of small solenoids? You could use all of the same ball tracking you've devised to determine where on the backboard the ball will hit and then rapidly actuate a solenoid or solenoids to redirect the shot in (might not even need to be more than 1 cm of throw for any solenoid). There would be several advantages to this approach if it could be made to work. First, with the solenoids mounted behind the backboard and flush with the surface, unless someone looked carefully they wouldn't notice it was a non-standard hoop (i.e. they wouldn't immediately know you were cheating). Second, solenoids are relatively simple bullet proof components that might be more robust. Third, there might be a way to address the very extreme, line drive shot with this approach. Just a thought. Keep up the good work

    Very cool. One possible improvement idea: You said that you wait til the last millisecond to move the board, and that you have timing problems. You might consider moving the board sooner towards a "best current guess" and then constantly refine the position as more data comes in. This might also look cooler as the board will seem to just smoothly move into place instead of the sudden jolt it has now.
