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...

ā€œThis is probably the most complex project that Iā€™ve ever doneā€ seems like he says this every video. Thatā€™s probably why theyā€™re so great.

It seems to me the next logical step is to build a robot that moves the robo stick around the table as neccesary, hook that up to that play online website you build and then allow real people to play real pool against each other over the internet in some random cellar halfway across the globe.

10:19 As a programmer I'm so happy that he managed to sum up the entire programming/coding process in a span of less than 5 minutes, seriously we aren't smart, we're just really really stubborn and huge masochists

I rarely post on the Internet but there something that needs to be said. In life we get exposed to all kinds of different people.Finding you really gave me more faith that there are more people out there like you that are just as talented and creative. Having people like you out there helps me believe that it's a good time to be alive. Thank you.

After 50 years working with computers (software design and management) and 55 years simultaneously of playing pool (5 to 6 days a week - last 10 years). All I can say is. Man, you are a smooth running model of efficiency! A real joy to watch and learn from. Thank you. ps..... I have been married for over 50 years to the same 'dream girl'. Hope for you the same. Wow, I thought my workshop generated a lot of useless stuff. The joy is in the building it, not using it (knowledge of, not practice with).

There are SOO many disabled folk who need brains like yours to solve day to day problems. Thank you for inspiring people to get interested in these types of problems and all the underlying knowledge that is required, including my own children. Having worked with similar technologies myself, I appreciate the extraordinary capabilities and resolve you possess! Cheers from Sydney - Dave

If a team of twenty people did this, I would be impressed. But the fact that you could figure out all these different aspects of this complex problem by yourself is just crazy. You are a genius!

Showed this to my 6 year old daughter, and she LOVED seeing you work through the problems. She started telling me about the robots she wants to build. Thanks for showing the process of engineering--both the setbacks and the solutions.

Watching your videos is really humbling because youā€™re a better engineer than Iā€™ll ever be. That being said, I adore your videos and love watching your process. Really your work is quite inspirational and I enjoy seeing what new creative endeavor youā€™ll decide to tackle each time.

I'm a mechanical engineer and I think I'm pretty good at figuring out stuff like this. You are light years ahead of me. I can follow what you are doing, but if I had to do it all myself I would be completely overwhelmed even with all the concepts thrown at my feet. You are a complete genius. You must be in the top 0.001% of people to do things like this. It's an honor just to watch.

The most amazing thing about all your videos is, It shows clearly how complicated the human mind is. When you pick up a pool cue and look at the shot you want to make, your mind makes the calculation in a split second. The brain tells the arms and hands how to find that position that will allow you to make the shot. To transfer that into computer commands proves that complexity.

I have ZERO background in engineering or anything close to that. Iā€™m an everyday dad that loves to tinker. I came across your page on tiktok (or someone that stole your content) and Iā€™m so happy I did. I immediately ran to YouTube and subscribed and have been binge watching. High five to you for your gift, discipline, and passion!! Iā€™m a super fan now!! šŸ˜‚
