Waterjunk: I would like to do a basketball shooter
Cool Professor who watches NBA: For real?? Awesome!! Go ahead with it dude! Would love to see it swish from downtown!!
Waterjunk:
Hehehe, you're probably right. Its just im really into basketball and stuff. However, if you think about the science behind basketball in general, you can learn quite a lot if you based a project on it
A robot that can automatically shoot projectiles at different velocities and angles relative to where it is to the basket is quite cool. Plus, a basketball shot is not launched like a cannon. It has a lot of back spin in it, resulting in magnus forces and all.
Im sure that kinda robot can be used for other things besides basketball
