How I automated being good at Darts
Help support those crazy engineering projects here: www.patreon.com/NiklasBommersbach
Scoring a 180 as an absolute beginner in darts? Impossible...
At least that's what everyone told me. I ended up recycling a machine I previously built on this channel to find an "engineery" solution to this problem. And here it is: My dart robot!
Find out what motivated me to do so, which engineering challenges I had to overcome and how good the robot really is, when tested in a match against my friends.
Thanks for your ongoing support!

I built a Parachute System for Drones
Просмотров 6 тыс.Год назад
Help support those crazy engineering projects here: www.patreon.com/NiklasBommersbach I worked on UAVs (drones, singlecopters, RC gliders, rockets etc.) in the past and I plan to engineer and test a rocket that uses an electric ducted fan (EDF) as its source of propulsion. Problem: This technology is expensive and iterative development is needed, so I need a safety system that saves my UAV from...
Robot vs. Beer Pong
Просмотров 12 тыс.Год назад
Help support those crazy engineering projects here: www.patreon.com/NiklasBommersbach I engineered, manufactured and tested a robot that dominates every beer pong game. I even tested the machine in a real match! After explaining the gameplan (trajectory calculation, basic mechanical principle etc.), I show you the design/building process of the Throwbot V1. Due to encountering issues with the n...

    This video is amazing. I was looking at building an automatic dart scoring application as well. Is there a GitHub with the code you used? If not maybe some guidance on the process you used? Thanks

    Maybe if you could program the machine to aim the second and third dart at the target instead of actually aiming for the board when you hit your first dart with T20, it could potentially improve the possibility of 180 drastically. Also using railed stems like "K-flex" and "Condor AXE" can make the darts easier to stack together.

    Casually making videos of the same quality as the engineering channels with millions of subs, but only having 2k subs and 50k views You definitely earned another sub and i hope to see your channel grow to the millions :) Also, when seeing you used a Savox servo, i knew from RC experience that it was the issue for the darts being released late

    • @niklasbommersbach
      @niklasbommersbach 3 месяца назад

      Thank you so much Jack. I appreciate it! Yeah the servo was far from being ideal... I think RC servos are generally not made for this. Did you have such bad experience with Savöx?

    • @niklasbommersbach
      @niklasbommersbach 3 месяца назад

      I haven't thought about it, because I think there are much more capable systems. Like AutoDarts.io or Scolia. The reason I did it myself is literally just the price, the challenge and that I needed to have access to accurate measuring data to train the robot. Also, the code is pretty hacky at the moment... Would need some serious cleanup🤣

    Did you have any "robin hood" during the testing stage? Even tho your robot could adjust horizontally slightly but i think it is still possible to happen?

    • @niklasbommersbach
      @niklasbommersbach 3 месяца назад

      Yes, it happened! But I have a feeling that the robot throws the darts a bit "harder" than a human, because they never ended up in a real Robin Hood but in me buying new shafts for the destroyed dart 🤣

    • @themathsking
      @themathsking 3 месяца назад

      @@niklasbommersbach with that rotational speed i supposed it would be harder than human throw i suggest you to program it, so it can determine the best "percentage throw" base on the tolerance (how scattered its location is) comparing to the predicted location when it comes to finishing, to avoid busting the score and leaving difficult finishes but i guess you would have to input a lot of dart knowledge into the robot

    • @xanton2206
      @xanton2206 2 месяца назад
