    I wanted to see if I could make myself a better golfer by combining robotic engineering and golf. The result is a robotic club that senses your swing and corrects your shot for distance. It should be possible to correct for slice and hook with some hardware and software upgrades. It also has a cool mode where it can be any iron so no need to carry eleven clubs.
    All hail our our robot overlords. I'm looking forward to gen 2 and doing more science on how good a robot really can make you.

      I once spent a month trying to figure out why my networking code wasn’t working. I rewrote it dozens of times, had other people look check it out, read documentation for days and days on end to figure out what was going on, but had no luck. I eventually looked at a part of the project someone else was working on and found that they had written a totally separate network function for a different purpose that was using the same IP and socket addresses from the user inputs meant for my function. His stuff wasn’t even supposed to be networking with the same device as mine. Before I looked at his work myself, I asked him if his work was interfering with mine and he said no, it wasn’t possible. It was a government project so your tax dollars funded a month of me sitting around going insane over a few hundred lines of c++ code all because my coworker was being dumb.

I've ran into subtle issues trying to do this myself in the past and I really just wanted the IMU to work so I could focus on the problems that haven't been solved well already :)

You can then either just glue the wires to the board as strain relief and connect them directly to another board or glue the connector back on and solder your wires to it. This is possible as long as you still have just a tiny bit of copper left, it's first when you rip out a partly hidden via with the trace you are in trouble, first then you (in this case) make USB drivers or digg into the circuit board and hope not to destroy any further traces.

    I'm honestly surprised how young you are, or at least how young you look; as I said in the pool-table video, I have immense respect for those who can code and engineer insane ideas like these, and that respect grows larger for people who can do these things around my age (early-twenties) or earlier.
    Blows my mind, it does.

    I discovered stuff made here a few weeks ago and I am convinced that this is one of the best channels on youtube. Certainly the best engineering and design channel I've ever seen. As a 16-year-old aspiring to be an engineer and as a fellow maker, I really respect and am inspired by what you do. Thanks for the great quality videos looking forward to more in the future.

    Such a friggin cool project. I’ve been waiting for a major manufacturer to build an adjustable club. Like you’re one club does it all kind of think. Without the cheat code tho 😅

    You strike me as the kind of person who could reignite the passion in a long-time engineering professor. I could easily imagine the job of teaching engineering to people could dull the joy of engineering quite heavily. I can just picture you as a college student asking your professor for advice for some batshit insane problem that you've created for yourself, such as "hey prof, I'm trying to make a self-correcting golf club but my hydraulics aren't working out for me," and having them immediately get invested in it.
