I made a ball seeking hoop 

crazy

Hey

I believe it

Damn

Damn man

Actually imo it would have been easier to make.

@@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.

@@BeesQuestionMarkk are you saying that a baby isn't a person?

@@BeesQuestionMarkk Unless, of course, you put the active sensors on the drone itself. That would greatly simplify everything.

@@andrewfowler1406 no, a baby is a baby

19:29 "before it one hit ko's my wife" 🤣🤣🤣

OSHA is typing...

*welding with my feet while holding my mask on with my hands* well I could have thought this through better....

Identifying potential hazards ahead of time, especially when these things operate near humans, is extremely important and you could get into all sorts of trouble for running a test like that in a professional environment (assuming the OSHA guy caught wind of it)

Having almost killed myself with an industrial robot arm, I concur 😂

give him 15 years, it will be done

It now teleports 😊

"I've made a hoop that not only catches every basketball thrown towards it, but all basketballs that ever have been or will be thrown."

"i made an plane seeking ball"

That's how I feel when watching Nile red these days

Just proves doing a master in engineering doesn't mean you're smart

100% like the iceberg where you only see a tiny amount of the effort

@@mcmerry2846 might be a true assumption, surely not a proof tho... I mean that's what I have learned ;)

It's his job

@@bas17h4 an amazing job

*wife

@@bas17h4 Nonetheless, he is doing a *wonderful* job providing entertainment for all of us!

He said it took 600 hours 😳

I’m a successful software engineer and just this guy’s abilities in code and ML make me feel like a failure, to say nothing of math, physics, machining, electronics, etc, etc. The casually practical demonstration of 3D gradient descent was amazing.

@@elliottwarkus8643 same, but tbh, you just gotta do what works for you

I just have to be happy, being a caveman. I was a certified Mercedes Benz tech for 7 yrs. Trying to understand the engineering concept of these cars, enough ,to successfully repair, at the garage level, is still caveman dumb, compared to this guy.

Also mechanical engineer, hard agree. This blows my mind.

ML expert here. Being able to code decent algorithms to get the feedback fast enough in order to have time to move the hoop and saying it could potentially do it twice is already a feat in itself. Not everyone knows how to code it AND code it efficiently enough so it's fast AND do it in a timely fashion. he is a one-man start-up. May I join the cavemen group ?

I agree, and JLaser is also great

@@eftbro9963 foul. promoting other youtubers which is frowned upon. although i agree he’s entertaining.

@@bucketfan4life How is that foul? they just said they also liked Jlaser that’s not promoting the youtuber that’s just the person contributing their opinion to a comment

He is also very resilient. Truly an inspiration.

HEY VSAUSE MICHAL HERE @@SuoKiba

Well it could also catch a shot from the future and even catch a shot from a ball 500km wide because the hoop could widen and could see the future AND the past. Plus it doesnt even take a second.

lmfao

Finally dad would be proud

@@magnesiumpi9136 Are ya winning, son?

It could even win the Nets a championship!

Not to knock this guys talent one bit, but for someone that pumps out crazy projects at fast scale, check out xrobots, James is also mind boggling with the speed and depth at which he does his projects

@@unperrier5998 why do you say this isnt engimeering

@@gideonhawk Hes just being a gatekeeper. This is absolutely engineering.

@@gideonhawk it is engineering. Unless you don't understand engineering, then you would probably deny this as engineering

@@unperrier5998 Tell me you know nothing about engineering without telling me you know nothing about engineering

Just think of the hours spent in meetings alone!

😂😂😂😂good thing that DIDN'T happen!

like the man that dunked himself in a basket net at 8:45 ?

(top screen in the middle)

It’s a theme park, u should expect the opposite

Would definitely be riggeed

You should get Red Shirt Jeff to voice it

@@Rman7012 A 70/30 chance at receiving the 'Wife' ball lol

dude fr he could sell these

Pleasure seeing you here Anthony. Been following your lessons for the better part of a decade!

I can do that in a second damn people are dumb

Fr

Just simple mechanical, electrical, computer, and machine learning engineering. I was actually surprised he knew quite a bit about machine learning as an engineer

@@enochlevandovsky8625 Everyone need to. Machine learning is a necessity these days.

But the way she absolutely ROASTS HIM

@@josephspence4243 That makes his videos 1000x more entertaining

Bahaha - 100%

Over engineering is his middle name ✅

Nah man... I've watched your videos before.

Everything in engineering projects like this is super difficult

"For a robot like this, it's actually really simple" - Sure it is.

This is an insane project...

For real, though...

Honestly, its not engineering. Everyone can study engineering and with some hard work and dedication get a degree. What this dude does? Its another level, we re talking genius levels of creative engineering. Im speechless every video

@@nofuccerino6025 still engineering but i get what ur trying to say.

The fact that he created a special tool to measure to location of the "poulies" shows how much he enjoys what he is doing... There exist lasers to measure distance from a point... But less creative and maybe less precise :)

I definitely wouldn't say under rated, they're very appreciated for all the right reasons

Part of why the teams are hired is dividing up the work load to make a project happen much more quickly, or tackle an even larger scale project. But yeah, he definitely is a few sigma above average.

100% agree with your statement. The level of knowledge and skills displayed in just this one video, is “off the charts”.

I work as a design engineer and have a masters in engineering technology, this dude absolutely amazes me every single time.

He's got to be getting lit up on linkedin every single day. This guy can single handedly go from concept, design, software design, to product in a month or two in his own home. Ridiculous.

IM WHEEZING

And it can become big and small at the same time and you can shoot the ball in 1967 AND it still would hit. And also you can make the ball not exist at all and IT STILL HITS THE SHOT. being in the future isnt even a challenge for the hoop. It can get a ball shot by your great-great grand children and it STILL would hit. While youre stuck inside space time and stuck forever in eternal void for breaking the universes law it could still hit the shot.

"The flux capacitor kept sending my ball to 1957. Why would it do it that... Oh, my code told it to do that."

The only way I could see this working is if he made a bot that attached to your body and did the throw using your arms. Sounds like an easy ticket to the hospital.

I also thought this was a wee bit more dangerous than the "can't miss pool queue"...

saw the cables and had to think about the cable scene in the movie Ghost Ship

@@MaThista91 I had this exact thought the entire time too 🥴🥴

case closed

"But still not impressed."

My thoughts exactly.

smart people youtube channel

insane range? more like absolutely unfathomable range

Hes so far ahead of every other "engineering" youtuber its insane. People with full-time teams couldn't do the stuff he does even if they had twice the time.

Paid for one of the circuit boards lol

I mean, imagine the big boss analyzes the movement of your arm and puts the basket in place before the ball leaves your hand. Not impossible!

Quantum Hoop Q-hoop

My first thought when I read this was the imagined problem of it trying to catch the ball at 70mph while it is still on his hand 🤣🤣🤣

@@seanw9940 it is possible. Very hard, but possible

lol I just commented the same thing and scrolled down and saw this

Not to mention having the ability to make a fun, easy to understand, edited video out of it too

He’s a genius

@@BennyTygohome it blasted my mind

And also then turning it all into a video!

This is a lesson to the future generation - learn to be athletic, or you will spend the rest of your life learning several other disciplines just to make up for it :)

I think the time machine hoop probably didn't happen, unfortunately. Because if it did, we would have not seen him missing any shots in this video :D (Or maybe he will set the hoop's time range differently)

​@@samfrancis1873 Much like the 3D hoop is constricted to the space in his room, the 4D hoop will be constricted to a time range. Probably between 2069 and 2420, if I had to make an educated guess.

"But what if I miss the rim?" - Designs curved backboard. "But what if I miss the backboard?" - Designs hoop that moves around the wall. "But what if I miss the wall?" - Designs hoop that moves around the room. "But what if I shoot tomorrow?" - Designs hoop that moves around time. "But what if I don't even shoot?" - Designs hoop that can move around realities.

@@slickstretch6391 this model already does all that, if he shoots tommorow it moves forward in time at a speed of one second per second. If he doesn’t shoot then it already exists in another reality where he shoots

@@snaggel but what if he shoots yesterday?

@@nick_a_mate1810 got me there

and it also flies

📥✍️💌💌

lmao I literally just sent my friend this video because this dudes an actual genius, super impressive and well made content.. dude is leagues above other engineering/science channels. he does it all, and well. and that's with crazy time constraints. imagine if he dedicated a whole year to some wacky and insane project..

He's a Genius

Ok here's the thing though- he's good, but not inhumanly so. If there's a kid out there who sees this and thinks that they want to do stuff like this, they totally can get there. Like, is it easy? No. But nothing that's part of this project is outside what could be learned with a basic college engineering degree. He's just applied it very well.

This is not machine learning. It's just an alogirthm. But you are right every part of this would be a nightmare on its own.

@@MudakTheMultiplier No, the breadth and depth of knowledge, experience, and talent he applies is simply more than several college degrees worth. He is a genius.

My jaw actually dropped when I saw the hoop move that quickly and precisely like teams of people get paid full time salaries to make systems like that and he did it by himself for a single youtube video

been an engineer for 7 years now, and still think he is a wizard !!

@@sofienboukerbouker3484 Well, I'm glad I can become a real engineer without having to be all the way up on his level of wizardry! There's still hope for me yet.

This guy is the 10x developer of engineering

If you told me I had two years to design as& get this working or the world would end, I’d tell you that you best get cracking on that bucket list & then I’d go surfing! Not that I wouldn’t want to save the world! But come on? I’m no 🧙‍♂️

100% Best comment! As an Mechanical/Automation engineer, I'm blown away by his well rounded skill set and troubleshooting prowess. This man is a beast of an engineer and I wish him all the success!

@@weibull760 ok this might be a dumb question but if he’s just finding slope of the parabola to see if it matches gravity why does he need the second derivative

@@jackinzbox. the second derivative is the slope of the first derivative. 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.

Thanks

Wow i am also a subscriber of In a nutshell

I don't agree at all. I think his progression is impressive and linear.

My brain is too smol to comprehend what u just said

@@Benpurple4 You are both wrong. The progression is binary. This is the first time I have seen the wife smile. This man has finally achieved something noteworthy.

@@victoriapollard6995 Thank you, that gave me a hearty chortle.

To be honest, this message quite touched me.

same here 😂😂

I literally looked him up yesterday to make sure I hadn’t missed an upload lol

I did the exact same thing

Me too lol

I watch his videos for her snarky comments. Anytime I introduce someone to this channel I always scrub to the wife parts first, then let them watch the rest of the video.

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.

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.

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

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!

@@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

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

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.

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!

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

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.

Me too

As someone who hasn't studied engineering and doesn't know the sheer level of difficulty this would be. He's a god

Fr literally applies every discipline of engineering HIMSELF

So not just on Asmongold but you gotta come and bother me here too 😡

As someone who stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night, I agree.

No, not even this time

@@Tumm1995Not true

I really hope she is impressed. His stuff is insanely impressive.

@@thehandleiwantedwasntavailable course she is, guys a millionaire from yt

I believe she helps as well

I 100th like woooo

Do MEs go through control theory classes at all? I’m just curious because it’s apples to more than just EEs.

I wouldnt mind if these vids were an hour long tbf, they are really entertaining

Well, we know he wouldnt video all of it, at at those sizes, its practicallt guarenteed some footage gets corrupted…

It was 600 hours to build the machine and 900 hours to edit the video.

@@DavidPeach10 Any relation to David Pumpkins?

@@DavidPeach10 only 900?

His best skill is his humour.

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

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.

He is the type of guy who writes math using alphabets

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.

Her deadpan game is on point!

It already moves in 6D. Adding the time dimension is only an extra 1/6th. Shouldn’t be too hard.

"hope he gets the recognition he deserves" Mans got 3.8Million Subs... I dont think he's sweating about that

Was thinking the same. The best about this channel.

What's up check mark guy

@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!"

Don’t look at my name!!!

I wouldn't normally say this but I wanted to thank you for the tremendous help your videos provided me.

those two qualities actually often go together

I think you just made his entire year. this is exactly what his dream and goal is: to inspire others

@@pvic6959 this should be the pinned comment. I teach STEM in a high school, and if my students were ignoring me and watching these videos, I would be proud of them. (Right now they're just wasting time watching fight videos on tic toc...)

I never got interested in videography till I started watching you recording with T3i, u should post more often

e

His engineering skills and knowledge are way above average I could barely even scratch to know what he is actually doing most of the time As myself studying engineering I will copypaste what other guy said too """" I don't know how one person can have all that mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering knowledge and skill. He does things alone that companies hire teams of engineers for"""
