- Ever wondered how the math you learn in school is actually used? Ever wonder what Engineers actually do? Watch how trigonometry, quadratic equations, and derivatives come together to assist me in building this laser-shooting robot!
Uses a Raspberry Pi minicomputer, camera, and laser pointer to "shoot" targets in the surroundings

@ 20:31, I mislabeled the "region" we'd be operating in if the angle was bigger than 45 deg. As that angle increases, the tan(angle) will get bigger and bigger without bound (approaching infinity)!
This video has touched my engineering pride so deeply, I think I am about to cry
I appreciate that!
Very well explained, great work 🙌
Would love to see more videos
Thanks for watching Abhinandan! Yes I really want to make a project playlist that really focuses on understanding things down to the mathematical level! Really wished I had been shown stuff like that as an undergrad. Don't get me wrong, a lot of the projects shown to me were cool, but I never got the level of understanding that I wanted on how it worked.
I have some REALLY cool ideas but not the time to build them right now! UGH! But you can be sure the next one I put out will be super-explained as well as super cool!
Seriously a great video man keep it up! Your passion for engineering and the finer details really shows in these longer videos!
Thank you I certainly will!
I couldn't have said it better, that's exactly what I'm trying to do with this channel. Engineering is all about dealing with the finer details!
This is some legit good engineering. Some really good troubleshooting techniques you used. Damn it I'm so fucking envious.
Thank-you!
What you are doing is great. I highly appreciate your videos. Are you working on a second project?
Thankyou! Not at the moment, I will be doing more videos where i share my thoughts on Engineering
As you did a fit, then why not matching the mapping between motor control angles and position on the image plane, by identifying numerical parameters upon a calibration procedure that does not require measuring lengths in the real world?
Probably a strange place to ask this question, but do you know if the ENG - 104 tutoring center will be open this fall?
Nice vid by the way.
It will be through the same online portal we used for summer. Email me through my Uni email if you need details on how to access that!
@@eng1048 Alright, thanks man!
Could you please share the circuit diagram of this project?please...
did you make it automatic
8:45 ”Real actual units of length” don't know if I should feel insulted or not 😂 like you called the Metric system (the mm) ”real” which I’m proud (that weird Imperial system should be illegal, like what’s a mile 😂)... But... You insulted my pixels as not ”real”... A pixel is the length of one physical point of a image. In other words, for physical images (like printed) it can be unit of measurements in graphic design of about 0.26mm🙃 how fake is that? 🤔😂
Great video btw! I will let my Engineering Math Prep students about it :)
I tried making this project as inclusive as possible haha
I know Jeff I was just messing with you haha! I love this project it touches multiple fields: math, programming, electrical engineering, mechanical, ... I’m very exited about that raspberry pi!
Only a true master, an expert in all the disciplines, can build the robots...
