    .. welcome to CE, waterjunk. Its good to have Mechatronic engineers onboard! Hm, some ideas eh.. What about a basketball shooting robot? There you'd need to calculate the trajectory etc etc.. thats what I would have done if I had taken Mecha ๐Ÿ˜‰ Perhaps you can make it bounce the ball too! I tell ya, basketball has alot of dynamics involved in all aspects of the game... but, im not sure how that would help the world ๐Ÿ˜› you'd never know though..

    Basketball shooting robot - I liked that idea. On CE, we should encourage innovation. We'll soon start working on compiling a list of ideas for projects.

    Me: Hi. I would like to do a basketball shooter.
    Professor: For?
    Me: ...

    Not that the idea was no good, but I don't think it's suitable for my situation. Thanks for that suggestion anyway ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Cool Professor who watches NBA: For real?? Awesome!! Go ahead with it dude! Would love to see it swish from downtown!!

    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 ๐Ÿ˜‰ 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 ๐Ÿ˜›
