That channel (Stuff Made Here) is like every Engineer/ Machinists wet dream come true... Really loved his content.

"Over a 30-year span 37 robot-related accidents occurred, according to a search of OSHA incident reports. Of that number between 1984 and 2013, 27 incidents resulted in a worker's death.Aug 20, 2015"
Really cool project. I was a bit confused about his explanation on measuring where the anchors were in space. Why would a tape measure not be enough?
I was also a bit surprised that more primitive CV wasn't used to track the ball--he had to freeze the ball and then machine holes into the ball to insert tracking objects. I would have thought that image recognition could have solved the problem without the trackers. Maybe the issue was that this requires very low latency?
I'm surprised someone with his skills doesn't have better/cheaper solution for medium amperage power distribution.

Thank God for YouTube. Providing free mass scale distribution to creators almost instantaneously has generated a lot of garbage content but also some real masterpieces. So much fun to watch this.
