An automatic pool playing robot - how hard could it be? Turns out harder than I thought. It took me quite a while to work through all the difficulties of this project but when it all finally came together is so worth it. To my surprise the most interesting aspect of this project is using the cue to play real games of pool over the internet. Let me know if you think twitch plays billiards would be worthwhile...
Meat servo cheats... (By the way you should totally support Shane on Patreon, like I do: www.patreon.com/stuffmadehere/ )
Don't forget, Smart people ruined the World. I will eat many smart people come Chaos.
love the idea - but one thing I would like you to consider. Are robots really better than humans or are they better SPECIALIZED PRECISION TOOLS than humans? Thinking about people as "human tools" is a specialty of certain group of "captains of industry and humanists" that in one point in time reduced people to status of a thing and in the name of kindness created sophisticated euthanasia programs to weed out the "defective" and "undesirable" in order to improve society for the greater good. It's quite worrying to hear the 80 year old slogans ("jokes") in slightly updated form being used by apparently very nice people in public without any embarrassment and shame. Seems like holywood did pretty good job in making everyone to forget the real history. The point I'm making is that once you start reducing people in your mind to tools and meat servos - even as a joke - it's enough of an efficient shortcut and it makes thinking about complex things so much easier so for the brain it would be wasting resources not to stick with it. The academia and "nobility" historically always fell into that trap.
i knew it was you in the vid
stewart platform ayy?
Your hand is a robot.
Robots work for hours for no pay Electricity bill: Uhhh, hello?
Are you from this world
I know that isn't my business, but I don't really like the way his wife treats him...
My favorite joke 6:44
The words "simple" and "easy" were said waaaay too many times in this video, haha!
"I want to enjoy the game of pool the way it was meant to be played."
I'm so tired I read, "Automatic pool stick vs. Marijuana. I know I live in Washington and it's everywhere, but dang.
This is just awesome!!! Dude! The idea and implementation are on a whole new level....
I bought my last TV from MicroCenter. Shout out from Atl, GA
Totally subbed
This is amazing how have I never heard of you before!
How do people dislike this?
My goal in life is to be as smart at this guy.
Why did you have a florida man wikipedia page open
Angagement
Challenge Mark Rober!
Lmao I see parts that are inside my R/C cars
Mannnn u r a genius
It took a genius to figure out what any drunk idiot can do without a stupid robot... so who is the real idiot here?
THIS IS MARK ROBER BUT SHIT
its not the quantum leap for pool but close enough. fiworld.info/goon/eaKvnHyyyouSpWw/videot.html
Just stop! Please stop! You are driving me crazy! You love this stuff too much!
Wow, just subscribed. u r amazing man!
It would be neat to see English. In my mind, it might require a 3D sim to handle top/bottom-spin? Or maybe 2.5D (|:-D)
Micro Center rocks! Great place for Creality parts and filament!
Its not a "stick." Its in fact known as a "cue"
As a math major whos currently taking a programming course, I am thoroughly impressed.
4M21 sent me here.
Meanwhile Michael Reeves has robots that piss on people. And both are equally impressive. I love this stuff.
Very smart and cool, but this could never go mainstream in my opinion. By taking out the skill in the game you take out the competitive fun side of the game. You just grab your robot cue and have a simulated game that doesn't reflect on opponents measuring their d*ck sizes in pool. That's what competition is about in any game; who has the better skill set to earn the bragging rights/reward.
Golden arms... Epic song
I'm lost for words, a monument to human ingenuity and perseverance. You're gonna have a blast challenging people on parties.
After seeing Twitch plays Pokemon and Twitch plays Jerma's Carnival, twitch plays pool would be fun
Has Elon musk offered you a job yet
Must have been expensive, I have watched 8 unskippable ads in 10 minutes.
This guy is a freaking polymath
Your wife is terrible at acting
False advertising about the gpus at micro center
Dude wow
On one hand he's intelligent but on the other he's not because he is wasting it on entertainment. That intelligence should be used for something that helps the planet.
One of the most amazing things I've seen on youtube. Well done. From one kindergarten level nerd to a Ph.D. level nerd.
Are you tony stark
Its incredible how fast he can do these projects
I once wrote a sudoku solver. Do you imagine that nobody wanted to solve sudoku with my app?
„It is the robot that won, not you” „Ye but, i coded it, therefore i won” *OOOOOO BURNED!*
Robots have no empathy or sympathy, can't understand nor tell jokes. They can't deliver bad news well (like doctors) and have NO critical thinking. How are they better than us again??
Michael reeves but older and more mature lol.
AMAZING!!!
This guy and Mark Rober could take over the damn world !!!
Anyone who tells you that "having fun" has nothing to do with the quality of your toys is a liar. This stuff is all awesome, but if you don't have thousands of dollars to spend, I hope you enjoy pretending that broom is a horse.
I want to play the game of pool like it was supposed to be played :Then proceeds to use a robot pool stick Me: 👨
14:35 his mouth
I played league many years ago and this idea takes away all skill. Mass produce those and you kill the game.
Lmao.. I present to you a week of pain in 20 seconds.. Just fab.. lol. This would have to be so precise.. Even the pressure of how hard you hit the ball or the spin you create with the pool ball.. I Love this experiment..
"haha, wife bad." - every cishet
I like how the wife is tolerant of his robot love, she may not like it, but she realises humanity depends on it.
Shout out to this man's wife for not only putting up with this man's weirdness, but also encouraging it and being happy that he's happy even if she doesn't understand why he's happy, (watching multiple videos can make this obvious)
Learned electronics, mechanical and computer science engineering in a single video.
this video called me stupid in many many ways...
And some people still insist that our mind came from randomness 😂😂 you wish so ..
I was watching a pigeon making a pizza but somehow I ended up here
you could add a bar that support the robot, resting on the ground
Just discoverd this channel - this guy is amazing! And the project is awesome! It's like a mix of Colin Furze and Boston Dynamics.
I wanted to see more games with the cue!!!
but does micro center have any rtx 30 series gpus ...
dude, if your wife is not actually acting the way she reacts to your awesome project, you need a new wife
“I bought a pool table and now I need a tax write off”
dude, thats FUKING AMAZING! So impresive and interesting!!
I start looking at my career as an engineer and I'm like... I'm starting to really know my stuff... Then I look at your videos and realized that I'm just a huge idiot and I'm totally OK with it! These are amazing man!
This guy is amazing.. but surely his talent could be put to better use..
This is amazing, such a cool invention
"I want the robot to have control" famous last words
Excellent execution.
Never heard of you before and have no interest in mechanical engineering but the algorithm gave this to me so I had to watch it.
Totally genius
The most useless yet fun video
Play Russian billiard (pyramid). It will be crucial!
"I wanted to play a game of poll the way it is meant to be played" Said a man who made a whole frickin robot just to play poll, Amazing work bro !
Russell Ackoff coined a term “Omni-Competence” that describes this guy perfectly. If you understand everything, there is nothing you can’t do. I think “Renaissance Nerd” also applies, and I’m using the word nerd in the most affectionate manner possible. This man is my hero.
"You know what? Math is useless..." Lololol
Are u superhuman? Just amazing how you built all those things from scratch... You remind me of Sheldon Cooper man...
You should play against a real Pool Pro
your wife has a GENIOUS in her house and she still behaves like she is the prom queen and you are just a "nerd" ... but she is the opposite of the prom queen in looks 100% AND in personality, its like melt jelly, she doesn't know how to even appreciate and need to humiliate you on the camera even when you are 10000% times smarter than her? like wtf, a good job would be a "normal person" would tell at the end ...not "this"...
How. Just how do you know all this stuff!!!
"I think this is a good proof of concept"
Made my day. Was thinking a time of flight camera could’ve made this a bit easier.
I feel people like this will be our masters in the future.
the stick has two parts, the long one that you hold and the tip is Efren Bata Reyes
Elon musk is better
And I'm here copies program of find area of circle and also got error
Real genius.. subbed and used the link as instructed 😊
You are one of the best content creators that the Internet has ever seen! I admire your genius, your dedication, and passion!🔥
Now it just needs *N E U R A L N E T W O R K S*
is it just me or does this guy look like Pete Davidson?
only if pete davidson had this dark humor and 5 new brains to compensate for his IQ
dedication to this bro!! hats off
0:25 ‘they work no hours for no pay’ Wait isn’t that just slavery?
new 8bp cue looking cool
Amazing work! I can tell this took a lot of mental work!
Efren Reyes would give this cue a run for it’s money
