This is so cool!
A group of high school students built a robot that can pick up balls and shoot them into a bin while moving without stopping, doing it with impressive speed and accuracy.
They call it Miss Daisy XXIV, created by a team from Wissahickon High School.
What looks simple in the clip is actually a full system working in sync. The robot collects balls on the move, stores them internally, then feeds them into a high-speed shooter that launches them precisely into the target.
It combines mechanical design, sensors, and software that has to make constant adjustments in real time while the robot is driving.
The barrier to building advanced robots is getting lower, while the capability is going up. That combination usually leads to one thing: rapid acceleration.
Pretty cool!
