Helpfull shooting research

[staplemonx]

here are some things we are looking into to learn about accurate ball shooting

• Here is a PDF that goes through a lot of control laws for targeting, position sensing and feedback. http://www.ece.msstate.edu/courses/d...28final%29.pdf
• Here is a book written about the FRC 2007 game Aim High. It details the mechanisms used by the top teams to get their shooters on target and into Einstein http://www.amazon.com/FIRST-Robots-H.../dp/1592533663
• This may appear silly but this ball shooting robot does provide an easy way to aim and shoot balls http://gizmodo.com/368979/tennis-bal...robotic-friend
• Here is another paper on target acquisition for shooting robots with specifics on feedback by Penn State http://www.atomicrobotics.com/wp-con...100.5278-1.pdf
• Here is a very strange ball throwing system with a 99% accuracy within 3 meters. The key is stereo camera systems http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/03/b...ball-embarras/

Here is a link to a post we had about various ball throwing robots. http://www.atomicrobotics.com/2012/01/kick-2012-recap/
