    This is a really cool project, and a really wonderful video. Your visualizations are excellent and explanations were great. When you switched to a continuously-rotating arm I was surprised you still had to contend with the harmonics, but you had the data! Really amazing work.

    • @niklasbommersbach
      @niklasbommersbach  Год назад +2

      to be honest, I think it might have worked without the shiftable weights, but less precise. That's what I meant when saying "25% hitrate"... The huge downside of using a stepper motor for sth like this is that there will always be some struggle with the harmonics... I can just try to make it better, not disappear.

And yes, some parts are left out, because I did not think they added something to the video. I think it goes without saying, but I spent hours and days on "tweaking" and adjusting the design.

    Hi, I really enjoyed the video. I was wondering how you calculated the friction coefficient "k" in the following expression: f = -k*v. I tried it myself, including recording the free fall of a ping pong ball from a height of 4m, then transitioning to a steady state to apply Newton's laws and calculate the coefficient. Do you have any tips and a value for the friction coefficient? Thanks, and keep up the good work!

    • @niklasbommersbach
      @niklasbommersbach  7 месяцев назад

      Hi there, glad you liked the video! I didn't find a way to calculate it, but I iterated my way there. I started with drag coefficients of about Cd=0.45 for spheres (this is heavily dependent on the Reynolds number of the ball). I tried my best to be very precise with everything else (mass, area etc.) and then vary the drag coefficient until I got good results. This is not very scientific, but without any expensive laboratory equipment, wind tunnels etc., I didn't find a way to make it more precise. I landed at Cd=0.41 for the ball I used and this gave me great results. Important to mention that this value can be something completely else, if your ball has slightly difference surface structure. Did you try guessing coefficients and trying to verify them in tests with an average of e.g. 10 free falls?

    This is VERY GOOD! Well done! The homing method was sexy. To turn a halleffect to the perpendicular axis... Sheesh.
    If I may! If you made the arm out of carbon fiber. Would you not have decreased the mass and increased the stiffness and therefore increase the natural frequency far out of the range of all possible throws?

    • @niklasbommersbach
      @niklasbommersbach  Год назад +1

      that's true. I would have increased the natural frequency, but not necessarily out of the range of possible throws. Often, the natural frequency was reached at about w/2... So the arm has to go through the resonance area, and then still speed up a lot. Making the arm out of carbon fiber would probably result in a natural frequency that is close to the step frequency of the motor. I guess this is sort of a trade-off between an arm that is as light as possible and an arm that is not very likely to be influenced by vibration too much, because of its inertia...

      thanks for the feedback! Yes, there is an infinite number of possibilities the design could have been better. But - like I wrote in the description - I just could not get the design and the mechanical principles out of my head and really wanted to make it work. I have limited knowledge of control theory (working on it) and therefore went with this approach. I think, probably a 300-400 W AC-servomotor would have been the better choice, but: $$$...

  • @chrisdalke

    Super interesting strategy! I built something very similar and we went in a different direction using a softball-launcher style wheel drive. That gives us a wide range of ball velocities and we could potentially give it some sidespin, but we can't control the launch angle vertically. We also spent a lot of time using a realsense to try to detect the balls in realtime. Look forward to following your channel!

      nope ;-) we had to fill up the cups to the brim so that you see the ball after it hit the target. The final match was shot at around 10am, which turned out to be a little bit too early for this...

    Wait.. so your FRIEND is known for over engineering things? And you say that after spending 9 months on a beer pong machine?

      Haha you're right. There is some irony to that... But if HE built the machine, it would be able to win at Beer Pong while upside down in a 450°C oven... 😉
