    I wanted to see if I could make myself a better golfer by combining robotic engineering and golf. The result is a robotic club that senses your swing and corrects your shot for distance. It should be possible to correct for slice and hook with some hardware and software upgrades. It also has a cool mode where it can be any iron so no need to carry eleven clubs.
    All hail our our robot overlords. I'm looking forward to gen 2 and doing more science on how good a robot really can make you.

      I once spent a month trying to figure out why my networking code wasn’t working. I rewrote it dozens of times, had other people look check it out, read documentation for days and days on end to figure out what was going on, but had no luck. I eventually looked at a part of the project someone else was working on and found that they had written a totally separate network function for a different purpose that was using the same IP and socket addresses from the user inputs meant for my function. His stuff wasn’t even supposed to be networking with the same device as mine. Before I looked at his work myself, I asked him if his work was interfering with mine and he said no, it wasn’t possible. It was a government project so your tax dollars funded a month of me sitting around going insane over a few hundred lines of c++ code all because my coworker was being dumb.

      @@Teagles216 That is not a problem, you can at 9:27 clearly see all but the last trace, probably on the other side of the circuit board, just scrape off some soldermask and attach some fine wires. You can then either just glue the wires to the board as strain relief and connect them directly to another board or glue the connector back on and solder your wires to it. This is possible as long as you still have just a tiny bit of copper left, it's first when you rip out a partly hidden via with the trace you are in trouble, first then you (in this case) make USB drivers or digg into the circuit board and hope not to destroy any further traces.

      Rober took 3 years to build a self centring dart board... not sure he can compete with Mr. Stark here 😉

    Such a friggin cool project. I’ve been waiting for a major manufacturer to build an adjustable club. Like you’re one club does it all kind of think. Without the cheat code tho 😅

    4:10 The conclusions in this section about the shockwave not travelling very far up the club within the 500 microsecond contact time are incorrect. The speed of sound is not a fixed constant! It varies greatly depending on the material through which the sound is propagating. In most steels (and most other metals they make golf clubs from) it's of the order of 3000m/s, so the shockwave will easily travel the entire length of the club in 500 microseconds (in fact a quick calculation shows it'll travel more than 1.5m in steel in this time).
    From your rough indication with your hands along the club (looked like about 15 or 16ish cm) it looks like you were using the speed of sound in air (~330m/s) for your estimation and were thus out by about a factor of 10.
