I've known this was the endgame for the robotic basketball hoop ever since I made the first one. It's time I actually did it.

Believe it or not this project took me over 600 hours. I love making them, but it does take a lot out of me. If you enjoy these, please consider supporting me on Patreon at patreon.com/stuffmadehere
crazy
Hey
I believe it
Damn
Damn man
Next year he's gonna be like: "Last year I made a 3D unmissable Basketball hoop, but I still had to be in my workshop to be able to land a hit. So I made a Basketball hoop drone that follows me around."
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 minutes in: "it just ocurred to me how dangerous this is"
spoken like a true engineer
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 😂
“Ever since I made the 3D hoop, I’ve known a 4D hoop was the answer. I’ve consulted theoretical physicists and the next hoop will be incorporating time into the loop.”
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"
technically it is a 4D loop because it accounts for time when moving to a future location
When I was a kid, I used to see some impressive stuff on TV and I thought to myself "yeah, adults know so much stuff, it's easy for them". Now I'm starting a master degree in engineering and after some experience in mechanical, electronical, IA,... projects, I realize how much dedication you have to have in order to achieve what this guy achieves. I am really impressed...and almost emotive after seeing what you did! Just wow!
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 ;)
I can imagine this at a theme park.
"Please stand clear of the flying basketball hoop." in a polite but stern voice.
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
He's made the 1D auto-hoop. Then the 2D auto-hoop. And now the 3D auto-hoop.
Now he needs to make the 4D auto-hoop that can travel back in time and catch that shot I missed when I was 5.
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!
Truly impressive. I've been in the automation business for over 35 years, the last 25 in doing custom automation. I shudder to think how much we would spend trying to make a flying basketball hoop.
Just think of the hours spent in meetings alone!
You are the most determined, stubborn and amazing man I think I've ever seen.
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
I’m a mechanical engineer and every single time I watch this guy it puts into perspective how much smarter he really is than 99% of us. I’ve encountered thousands of engineers, some very smart, and I don’t know a single one that could do all of this.
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 ?
My brain is melting just trying to imagine the amount of work and talents needed to do this project.
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.
With how unnoticeable the cable is it looks like magic
I was worried I was going to see a man get cut in half like it's a resident evil movie.
😂😂😂😂good thing that DIDN'T happen!
like the man that dunked himself in a basket net at 8:45 ?
(top screen in the middle)
This dude, by himself, has the entire collective knowledge base of small engineering firms that employ a team of people. I don't think there's a single more impressive channel on all of RUclips. Well done, man.
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
As an engineering student, I can definitely say that he is a genius. when he says it's simple from there, it's not. 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. Def. one of the most underrated RUclipsrs out there!
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.
I’m just about to finish my MSc in Engineering Physics with a decent programming background so I consider myself reasonably knowledgeable on the approaches you use to complete your projects. But the way in which you interconnect all the subjects making it seem like it’s a really straightforward process just blows my mind. The amount of work you have to put in to achieve this level of problem solving, math and engineering skills is really impressive.
Your videos really inspire the engineering nerd in me, thank you Mr. Stuff
That's so cute that he always inviting his wife to test stuff he made 😊
But the way she absolutely ROASTS HIM
@@josephspence4243 That makes his videos 1000x more entertaining

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 can already see you 1-up yourself next year with a 4D Hoop that can catch Balls you haven't even thrown yet.
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
If I were to describe you in one sentence to a friend, it would be “he makes super cool things you never would have thought about, and he does it really well”
I would personally love to see more of the engineering process and the science and math behind these projects. maybe just like a little live stream or a vod discussing a little bit of the theory and math along with the integration process and troubleshooting. Love the content and your dedication!!

@@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

Huge props to putting this much time and effort into these videos, I'm glad you enjoy what you do, because we do too :)
There are some creators on RUclips who are just incredibly far ahead of everyone else in their category. This channel is definitely one like that for engineering projects. The insane concept, the clear but minimal explanations of core concepts and problems, the insane range of applied skills and problem solving, simlpy incredible!
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.
"How did your husband die?" "Oh he was trying to impress me by building a robot basketball hoop and one of the suspension wires straight up decapitated him."
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."
Your channel has been a blessing. I’m continuously wowed by what you’re able to accomplish with your engineering knowledge and skills. I’m just finishing my ME undergrad with a minor in CS and these projects seem so cool! They appear so intimidating at first, but somehow you make it look feasible for someone with my background. It’s amazing how many complicated projects you’ve been able to work on and succeed at over the years!
That brief moment 20:09 that you know you have pulled it off (partly) is a wonderful thing.
Best feeling in the world to have those moments when executing new projects.
The depth of engineering in so many disciplines is just impressive.
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 :)
The amount of talents required to do this literally blows my mind. Machining, coding, mathematics, building, just wow!
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 :)
Love your videos, they're absolutely inspiring!
Paid for one of the circuit boards lol
@@aspect3896or one fifth of one circuit board.
I love how you approached the various challenges in getting the project to work. For example, you separated the ball's movement in your hands from the ball's movement in the air by the fact that the ball's trajectory through the air follows an approximately parabolic path that has a derivative equal to the Earth's gravitational force at sea level.
Last year, I made a robot that moves in 3D to help me make every shot, but I still had to exist at the same time as the hoop. That’s why I made this 4D basketball hoop, so I can correct any shot at any point in time
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.
Been considering machining my own circuit boards for years. But if this guy struggles with it...
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.
You are an engineering genius. Please make cheap gadgets that clean the oceans of plastics better than the ones currently being tested! Oh, and figure out the fusion thing when you get a chance.
Amazing! This is super high level engineering. It's really awesome to have access to high quality RUclips videos like this from such a great engineer. It inspires the next generation of engineers, like myself. So cool!
"It's trickier than you might think though." -- no man, it is most definitely just as tricky as I imagined this would be.
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.

At first I was like: "This guy could get any job in the world he wanted." But then I was like: "He IS doing any job in the world he wants. While simultaneously blowing peoples minds and having fun." Stay in school, kids.
I love how your videos show every step and struggle to how you build this, instead of just the final product
Next step is a 4D hoop that will travel to any moment in time that you've shot a ball and make it go in.
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.
First video I’m seeing on this channel and this is the greatest! What a sick project
The level of dedication and focus to build this apparatus is phenomenal!
I'm studying engineering at college, and I can safely say this guy is a wizard, not a mere mortal.
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.

Not that I wouldn’t want to save the world! But come on? I’m no 🧙♂️
I can't imagine how much footage you have to comb through to cram this into 26 minutes.
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…

this is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! Thank you for making incredible content. every video is worth the wait.
This was so interesting to watch and understand your thought process and the difficulties you faced.
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.
As someone who’s studied engineering I can say that this man is a genius, not a mere mortal
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.
I love the joy and satisfaction you get out of enjoying all your hard work
this is legit the coolest thing ive ever seen. this is absolutely breathtaking. thankyou
For those who are wondering; No, it is not normal for a human being to know this much stuff. He knows about mechanical engineering stuffs, electrical engineering stuffs, and in addition dude also knows how to do advanced programming and machine learning dev. Literal genius. A team would take literal months in order to do just the machine learning portion of this project. He's making it seems simple.
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.

@@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.
the montage of him fine tuning it was basically the process of him imprinting his soul onto this system and when it moves it's a reflection of his mind
I had to implement a solution to those intersecting 3d lines for one of my software internships. It was a lot of fun, mainly because I found a nice paper that gave me some linear algebra formulas I could easily implement into code. It was a godsend. It was great because I had options like confidences for each ray and it was blazing fast (I was doing thousands of these a second)
I watch your videos before bedtime with my 11yo son to inspire him to learn about math, physics, coding, engineering, craft, … and it never disappoints. Keeps him mesmerized for the whole duration of the videos. Thank you! You’re truly amazing.
To be honest, this message quite touched me.
"It's got some issues limiting it"
"Don't we all"

This is a true “smart” device.
the genuine shock/amazement the first time it landed a shot is what the pain of making something is all about.
New sub here and I really like your videos. You present things so that people of average intelligence (like me) can understand what you're doing, and you have a great sense of humor. That's what science needs, people like Bill Nye, Veritasium, you, Smarter Every Day etc... People who will get kids interested in making things, thinking critically, and getting into a good STEM school. Keep up the great work.
I never considered myself interested in engineering until I started watching your videos
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.

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"""

Wow.. u must really enjoyed the process.. congrats man 🎉🎉🎉
Very impressive! But I'm left with one question. Is there a hoop that can help me make a shot in the past? That's right. I think what we all really need to see is a 4D basketball hoop.

A RUclips comment that actually made me laugh? 🏆
It already moves in 6D. Adding the time dimension is only an extra 1/6th. Shouldn’t be too hard.
The fact that you edited the reflection of the caveman in the TV at 10:27 really captures the insane degree of effort you put into these projects and videos. Thanks so much for sharing!
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
Thanks so much for the awesome content! I wish I was just half as good at engineering as you are!
This is so cool! I did something similar (in a way cut down version) for studies. But we had the big advantage we used a commercial robot

The Wife is killing it !
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'm a mathematician and i love how simply you're able to explain some pretty complex mathematics. The amount of work that goes into these videos is incredible and immensely appreciated.
First time i have seen any of your and you definitely deserve more than a like for the effort
Some people spend their time doing things to improve people's lives. Nuts to that... this is COOL. Huge congratulations.
Man the engineering and designs are cool and all, but what constantly amazes me with this channel is his understanding of so many different "disciplines" if you will, especially coding. The combination of all the different skills he has is very impressive.
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.
Truly a showcase of using your brilliance for the greater good’s entertainment. Sometimes this is absolutely necessary.
Great video. I also laughed literally out loud when you came on and said “this is future me and he’s an idiot“.
Sometimes foreshadowing is relatively obvious
the "greater good" haha... what is greater than good? ...

This is one of the most impressive homemade projects I've ever seen in my life
cant wait for the hoop seeking ball
I don't think many people comprehend just how amazing you actually are. Yeah people see these cool things you make, but honestly........98% of people can't understand what you're actually doing here. From idea, to design, to manufacturing, to software, to parts, to math, to endless other things you actually do..........dude it's absolutely absurd how much knowledge/intelligence you have. Ive been overly impressed with you for years. I love everything you do, and your wife is awesome. If I ever meet you guys that would be one of the most cool experiences in my life.
Goated comment my g
"The point of this robot is to impress my wife."
She will be thrilled with the new, totally valid excuse for my projects!
Skills out of this world. Well deserved.
😮 one of the greatest project!
“It just occurred to me how dangerous this is.”
Pretty much every alpha phase testing ever lol
I'm a mechanical engineer, but I'm also a basketball hoop. I must say, this was really well done.
First reply on this semi famous man
Wait you are a basketball hoop
I really like it when inanimate objects post comments, and get engineering educations. Kudos!
where the videos been?
sir?
That's is crazy. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Congrats man!!
The hoop knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn’t

its Mark Roper bruh lmfao..
If you're gonna use the mans name for a shitty joke, at least spell it right.
When you're confident but incorrect because it is actually spelled Rober:
@@funnychilli123 oh, the irony.
Dude, You are amazing! The way you applied yourself in this project is super cool to see, and the animations to explain everything make it easily understandable.
fantastic job!
So incredibly terrifying - never mind the foam board, those wires could slice just about anything if things went wrong and hes just casually standing in the middle
BRICK SCIENCE?!?!?!?
Yeeeeeeet
It's real!
Great mind, we need more people using there brains for good. Love it
You’re so patient. I applaud you
As someone how works on precision motion control systems for a living, the only suggestion I'd like to make is to the Estop system.
Generally it's best practice to make it so the Estop system/brake requires an input to free the brake and any loss of that input should disable the motors and lock motion. For example, if your backboard is moving quickly and you lose power to the system for some reason, that backboard will still be moving because of the inertia left from the move. You'll only have the pulleys and the resistance of the disabled motors as a brake until you can reach and activate your Estop system(assuming you can reach it in time, and is it even works without power).
Ideally you'd have the brakes setup so they are normally pressed against the discs, and have something that pull the brakes off the discs when powered, but when not powered can be freely moved. For example, if you use a small DC wiper motor and a spring pushing the brake toward the disc, you can have the DC motor overcome the spring freeing the disc, and when power to the motor is cut, the spring should push the brake back against the disc immediately stopping the cable. The supply for the motors/actuators used for holding the brakes would run through the Estop button and also power relays to that connect the motors to their supplies when in normal operation, and disconnect those supplies when either power is lost, or the Estop is triggered.
For a home project it's that that important, but it's good to get used to designing safety systems like you were getting UL and TUV certifications.
The keywords are fail-open and fail-closed. You are suggesting fail-closed, or a dead-man switch.
@@belg4mit not quite. A deadman’s switch would require the operator to have a hand on the button the whole time and for it to deactivate if he let go.
Fail safe is the correct term and the first thing I thought about with his brake system. is it's not fail safe. As mentioned above, the brakes need to be held off and any loss of power or control causes the brakes to come on. And come on without using any electrical power.
@@belg4mit At my company we just refer to them as normally open or normally closed circuits to match the terminology of our limit states, because failed open/failed closed can be mistaken for the failed state of a component in a circuit.
If you have a diode fail for example, it might become a permanent short causing a "failed closed" condition. it can also blow open causing a ""failed open" condition.
Also when working directly with someone who doesn't work on electronic circuits(Wiring or Service departments for example), that terminology won't mean much, so I kind of learned to avoid using those terms to avoid confusion.
@@belg4mit As an engineer he's probably aware of both concepts, but maybe weighted out the time and effort to enhance his design for a fail-closed design. I would assume a working emergency stop for testing was more important, because this beautiful contraption is probably only going to be used for this video (and maybe one or a few further videos) - not a thing that will be in use 24/7 open to the public, which would need higher safety features.
But I have to agree though - a sudden power loss with that thing coming at you could be very dangerous. But being surrounded by those cable alone would make me feel eerie - I probably watched too much movies :D
Both of your smiles, proved this project's success 🙌...! Impressive...! 😊😊😊
