Basketball Robot

Basketball Robot

The robot dribbles past the opposing team and scores in a hoop.

The robot begins its journey with its arm down. Using a distance sensor, it is able to detect the cups(opposing team) and dodge. When moving towards the hoop, it checks for a blue mark on the floor using a color sensor. Once it detects the line, it lifts its arm and shoots the ball into the hoop.

    wow, I really like the shooting mechanism you built!

  • Ruby E. Hill

    I like how you had the robot move around the objects quickly before having it launch the ball into the hoop

  • Caroline R. DeLuca

    The arm was really cool! How did you get the servo to shoot the ball with so much force/ so quickly?

  • Nicole A. Batrouny

    Hey Kushal, I’m really impressed by the speed your bot was able to move at while maintaining so much accuracy with every turn, nice work!

  • Alex D. Foster

    Very good with the ball, it could compete in a robotic sports competition

  • Natalie J. Vu

    It’s really good at dodging past ‘defenders’. It’s a cool project.

  • Juanpi Rubero

    That was very cool! I liked it a lot and how the robot shot the ball

  • Merredith Portsmore

    Impressive implementation! What was the hardest part? What would you change if you had more time?

  • Emma E. Stevens

    Really great dodging there! Did those players have to be in a specific orientation for it to dodge that fast and make it to the basket? If so, is there a way to make it move in a general direction and dodge if necessary to reach the basket (maybe a log of how the motors have moved or a gyrosensor could be really interesting tools to tell the robot its current location vs. where the basket should be) ?

    The presentation is very well done, as well as the incorporation of different sensors and servos. Super cool, and nicely done!

  • Colin Schaefer

    It’s interesting to see a different approach to the same topic that i did

    Nice mechanism and excellent shot! I would buy this for my kids to set up different obstacles and watch the robot try different paths to make the shot.
