USING AN AI ROBOT GOALIE IN BEER LEAGUE HOCKEY

The BarDown Beer League team is back in action and today they're testing out the future of the goalie position by replacing Vince with a robot goalie named Goalia. Jesse, Corwin, Luca, Eric, Sam and Poc are skeptical at first, but are slowly won over by the plucky tendy.

Can we talk about how amazing it is that high school kids made this?!

[@eggcycles]

it was really fun to make, I did the air system to make the limbs move.

[@a-cell4564]

​@@eggcyclesgreat job to your whole FRC team chief. Now I kinda want to try making that after our team finishes our "t-shirt tank"

[@InsignificantNick]

I love that no matter what the Bardown team is doing for a video, Jesse always gets fed up and does everything to win.

[@SatansPooper]

It is amazing to me how quickly these human athletes anthropomorphize the robot on the ice. They quickly make it a teammate through stick taps when its brought out, giving it a nickname, throwing chirps its way and lots of headpats when it did make a good save. Bravo to the student robotics team..... They will put a robotic goalie on Mars within my lifetime. :)

[@leaf16nut]

TBH, it operates better than the goalie in any EA NHL game 🤷‍♂

[@Spartan086]

That’s not a difficult thing to accomplish

[@kylek29]

I'm pretty sure it's also not AI though, it's being controlled by the guy behind the net with the gamepad.

[@aboyandhisvlog8390]

@@kylek29they said it can be controlled or completely autonomous with puck tracking tech

[@bryan3dguitar]

@kylek29 I like your way of thinkin'. Yeah, let's keep an eye on that guy behind the net. And what about the goalie? Some guy in a suit? And how about the puck? How do we know that it's legit? And not one of those old "slapshot" measurein' pucks they sold years ago? But now upgraded to spin any old way on command, to change the shot angle? And the players? Surely their in on it. What ever it is :o) Yes, there's lots of room for some real flimsy conspiracy thinkin' here :o)

[@bayo69]

Shout out the students who made it. Talented for sure

Goalia had terrible rebound control

[@keirpatrick3045]

This idea was genius

[@JaredtheRabbit]

Goalia is bound for the Hall of Fame.

[@ZakingGaming]

That’s really impressive engineering, and in a high school class, well done

[@BigBlack81]

Just imagine what Boston Dynamics could do with this. I think these kids are going to have a bright future, the ones who made Goalia.

[@untexan]

Opposing team was definitely cheesing with the quick shots from the neutral zone and whipping pucks in from bad angles that the robot eye couldn't see very well

[@Nintentohtori]

Can Bardown just get its own channel already? I would subscribe to that, TSN I wont because I just don't want all the (especially non-hockey) sports flooding my sub feed.

[@ChannelyChannel]

The reason they don't have their own channel is because a bunch of people would unsub from TSN to sub to the Bardown channel.

[@_sam_8960]

Ever since I saw the sneak peak on insta I’ve been so hyped for this video. In unsurprising fashion, Jesse remains a squid

[@Kjell777Iverson]

WHEN IS BARDOWN GOING TO GET THEIR OWN KZbin CHANNEL!? 🤬

The defense left him out to dry on many plays

[@brenreidy8763]

Shout out to those kids who designed and built something so awesome. What an accomplishment. I'd never want to leave that class.

That goalies probably better that the goalie on my team

[@ryanTDG]

Alright this is pretty friggin cool

[@LeftyStegman]

They should do this during the all star game i think it would be really funny.

[@assmane999]

A more advanced version would be fun to see in the All Star Game for sure.

I'm 99% sure those are my leg pads I had custom made in high school in 2006. Does the high school robotics department have a contact. I would love to support them.

[@EclecticSeeker74]

I've tried to reply with contact info, but it doesn't seem to show up. Best I can offer is to contact the school and ask for Mr Haas.

[@urbclimbing2343]

As A goalie myslef, this is actually really good for us because we can learn off of them

[@adj_ustment]

Can some get Mark Rober?! These kids are awesome. Im sure with him they can make a goalie that can play in the pros.

[@Tjd1982]

As a goalie on 6 teams (3 ice 3 ball), this is what I look like during the season.

[@thatguycalledaustin4206]

I thought that looked a lot like my high school jersey. Cool to see that they have a robotics team now

[@tylermcpherson2075]

Jesse those Teeth dude ! I hear the " Jaws" movie music

[@bryan3dguitar]

The "Expert System" goalie (not AI as advertised) is a sieve on stick-side shots. Does much better on glove-side shots. Because (I'm guessin") the glove is a much bigger target than whatever the stick-side blocking target is. Which is probably just the hand holding the stick, itself. But I could stand corrected...

[@airconhut]

[@davidjung9591]

habs need that robot goalie

[@ZACKMAN2007]

The oilers need this

[@MrMewatchstuffnum2]

Imagine if they got an NHL goalie to play for them at a game

[@Terryadfg]

I swear last night I hunger his pavelac and hutch banner on my wall from years ago, looks like pave, can barely move

[@bryan3dguitar]

I could imagine a drone goalie that could actually cover a soccer net. Soccer goalies must defend a really large net compared to hockey goalies. Imagine a hockey goalie having to decide which way to jump on every penalty shot, for example. So put a drone goalie in the soccer goalie position. Make it fair (chancy) by having the goalie a round ball of some size that will "try" to deflect the ball out of harm's way. Knowing full well, that it can get to any shot coming its way...

[@robwhitexp]

[@Rytech_Dev]

Woah, I wonder who coded that 👀

[@carloronaldo6431]

Imagine if we weren’t joking, and the NHL actually added accurate puck tracking on the ice to eliminate the need for linesman. How great would it be to no longer f around with missed calls.

[@jameson1239]

The accuracy of that is within 3.6mm and I can’t find how thick the NHL goal line is
