Hey, I'm the one who made this! My video on it probably does a better job of explaining it than the github so I'd recommend checking that out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7VtSK23_Jg If anyone has any question

Thought about both of these, for various reasons they won't work. Trust me I spent a decent amount of time on this, I think objectively making the bottom transparent with thicker acrylic is the best solution, but motion tracking is the

I was thinking about spending an hour or two hooking up a chatbot api and maybe even sending it live position/score data so it could customize it's trash talk, but in the end I just wanted to get the video out so didn't. Woul

(I'm the person who made it) Yeah that's fair, but at least for me I wanted to focus on the interesting part of "making a foosball robot" which is the "foosball" part, not the "fiddle with a home built vis

Yeah, that's so the robot knows where the human is so it can accurately make shots. I didn't mention it in the video since it was more of an implementation detail and not too important to understand what's going on.

It was pretty much just me by myself on this other than for the raycaster engine, which was done by a friend of mine near the end. I'm on a few Discord servers on Minecraft computing, but it's pretty vastly different and the bigge

I'm the one who made this. It's rv32i, and yes the 2017 specs. It passes every rv32i test in the repository you sent, see the test/ folder for the riscof plugin I wrote. I also have CI in a docker to headlessly run Terraria a

Hey I'm the one who made this, if anyone is interested in the specifics I'm happy to go into details! Also as another comment indicates probably a better explanation of the project is the video I made about it: https://
