[@Yagami913]

Actually imo it would have been easier to make.

[@BeesQuestionMarkk]

@@Yagami913 No. The reason it works so well in a fixed environment is because it’s easy for a computer to get a precise location of the ball when there are several cameras finding it. For a drone hoop, it would have to be aware of its fans and somehow be able to tell a ball apart from a leaf, a person, or a baby’s head. It would also have to know how to get to exactly that spot all on its own, which drones are good at doing if you’ve told it exactly where to go in advance, but I doubt it would be so easy for it to do on the go in an unprepared environment.

The first derivative of the camera data is a bunch of flat lines as well as lines of different slopes, a computer processing all the different flat lines and slopes would take a large amount of time and processing. If you use the second derivative you shrink the data you are looking for to one number 9.8 m/s2. And a computer can just derive the data twice and then look for the 9.8 number much faster than a computer looking for a specific sloped line in all the random movements.

[@Ezra4216]

What's up check mark guy

[@joseywales3789]

@The Engineering Mindset, many, many years ago, on the first day of my Mechanical Engineering degree, the Tutor Professor Dr Patrick McAdam asked "What is Engineering?" The response from the students related to "science and technology concerned with the design, building, and use of engines, machines, and structures." He asked again..... "In its most basic form, What is Engineering?" There was silence. Until he said *"Engineering is problem solving!"* then he expanded on his statement...."From the moment that Homo Sapiens first used tools, they've been looking for ways and making a better tool to do the job, this is Engineering! Today with more complex problems, the Engineers need to find more complex and elegant solutions to the problems, but it's still the same Problem Solving!"

I am a mechanical engineer and I realize how much you minimize the problems you encounter in your projects. It is truly amazing to see how you manage to overcome all engineering obstacles to create something extraordinary. I hope you will continue to create this type of content.

the montage of him fine tuning it was basically the process of him imprinting his soul onto this system and when it moves it's a reflection of his mind

[@QuintBUILDs]

Been considering machining my own circuit boards for years. But if this guy struggles with it...

[@sbirdranch]

For simpler boards it works ok. The biggest thing that helps is finding good copper boards to start. Cheap boards delaminate easily. Also making the spacing larger so there is more of each trace, also helps. Again, simple boards are good candidates. Yes. I've done it. ~P

[@volkanarslan9451]

It's probably because height diferences around the copper plate. At 0.1 mm scale even the slightest bent make huge height difference. U should take bunch of height measure at bunch of places and make a curved path for ur cut with this readings. There is a already programs to do that easily.

[@bubalexander27]

As previously mentioned, it’s best for simple boards. Start with a single layer board with thick traces/pads. Use a thick pcb material so you can have deeper cuts for cleaner routing. Always visually check the cuts for leftover copper before powering on the board. Another option is to order a “barebones” board from someone like “advanced circuits”. They make some good stuff for hobbyists. Have fun!

[@alockworkorange7296]

Its so much easyer to lazer cut vinly and dissolve the coper in etchin solution

[@phillies4eva]

I tried it a few times and yeah it's not really worth it given the cost of having a fab do it. Plus a proper silk screen looks so awesome if done right.

[@liamdeluca8174]

Man the engineering and designs are cool and all, but what constantly amazes me with this channel is his understanding of so many different "disciplines" if you will, especially coding. The combination of all the different skills he has is very impressive.

[@FutureDeep]

His best skill is his humour.

[@Jehty21]

And not only engineering disciplines. But also his film making and animation is on point.

[@TheHamoodz]

I've met some pretty impressive people in my life, but I've never met someone that can probably make it as a senior engineer in mechanical engineering, tracking, motion planning, controls, and electronics all at the same time. This man is unbelievable.

[@phystem1]

He is the type of guy who writes math using alphabets

[@Jonathan.D]

Whenever I think about the coding I get this feeling of dread. A friend that I grew up with specializes in fixing coding errors on existing and new projects. I've read about some of the projects he's worked on. He has to be the most patient person I have ever known. Being able to build the machine and then program it is something that most people are not able to do.

this is legit the coolest thing ive ever seen. this is absolutely breathtaking. thankyou

So, the actual endpoint is a basketball hoop that materializes out of thin air, so that no matter where in the world you throw that basketball, the hoop will be there to catch the ball. I'm excited to see your video about it in 2056

[@stefanowohsdioghasdhisdg4806]

that could potentially work if he utilized a fourth spacial dimension

[@jokerofspades-xt3bs]

just gotta make sure there isnt an error in the programing which causes it to materialize inside your stomach

The fact that you edited the reflection of the caveman in the TV at 10:27 really captures the insane degree of effort you put into these projects and videos. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@jdaniels4490]

I wouldn't be surprised if that caveman video isn't a stock video. At this point, I'd believe it if Stuff Made Here told us that he actually attached a TV to some cave then make fire while wearing a caveman costume just for that clip.

[@matic1265]

I wouldn't be surprised if that caveman video isn't a stock video. At this point, I'd believe it if Stuff Made Here told us that he actually went back in time and showed a TV to real caveman.

[@sarthakjain1824]

I wouldn't be surprised if he has an editor to do this stuff for him

[@alowva]

I hadnt noticed until seeing your comment, but looking back its just an overlay of the caveman stock footage on the TV, it isnt even flipped. nice effect though!

[@poemontyperacer]

@@sarthakjain1824 maybe. I remember he mentioned how another silly little scene he modified from a stock clip in his unpickable lock video took him hours to edit -- It would honestly be understandable if he decided to offset that work to someone else
