    I wanted to see if I could make myself a better golfer by combining robotic engineering and golf. The result is a robotic club that senses your swing and corrects your shot for distance. It should be possible to correct for slice and hook with some hardware and software upgrades. It also has a cool mode where it can be any iron so no need to carry eleven clubs.
    All hail our our robot overlords. I'm looking forward to gen 2 and doing more science on how good a robot really can make you.

      I once spent a month trying to figure out why my networking code wasn’t working. I rewrote it dozens of times, had other people look check it out, read documentation for days and days on end to figure out what was going on, but had no luck. I eventually looked at a part of the project someone else was working on and found that they had written a totally separate network function for a different purpose that was using the same IP and socket addresses from the user inputs meant for my function. His stuff wasn’t even supposed to be networking with the same device as mine. Before I looked at his work myself, I asked him if his work was interfering with mine and he said no, it wasn’t possible. It was a government project so your tax dollars funded a month of me sitting around going insane over a few hundred lines of c++ code all because my coworker was being dumb.

      @@Teagles216 That is not a problem, you can at 9:27 clearly see all but the last trace, probably on the other side of the circuit board, just scrape off some soldermask and attach some fine wires. You can then either just glue the wires to the board as strain relief and connect them directly to another board or glue the connector back on and solder your wires to it. This is possible as long as you still have just a tiny bit of copper left, it's first when you rip out a partly hidden via with the trace you are in trouble, first then you (in this case) make USB drivers or digg into the circuit board and hope not to destroy any further traces.
