My process making Foosbar: the (unverifiably but plausibly) world's best foosball robot! This has probably taken on the order of 500 hours over the last 8 months to make, and you get to see it all in the span of a mere 15 minutes!

Dude. I would give my left arm, three toes from my right foot, and an entire case of Klondike bars for half of your executive function.

For version 2, I want to see single motor omni-wheel drive systems mounted directly on the side of the foosball table cabinet. Oh and while you're at it, you should take a look at a machine learning approach to play. You could train a simple neural network on a digital foosball table then test it on the real thing. The machine learning part seems *RIGHT* up your alley!

As a Gen-X'er who would spend every penny of my lunch money on foosball during my entire 4 years of Jr. High, your robot is simply amazing. I was pretty good back in the day, but I'm thinking in a straight up game your robot might have skunked me. You are right in that apart from having the skills of mastering setting up the ball and executing shots, foosball is all about reaction time on defense and surprise shot timing on offense with accurate ball placement. Certainly, no human can match the reaction of an amply powered computer and the small space your system needs to fit a ball is unreal. Awesome job!

Ideally you'd be able to model the game in software so it didn't need to physically play each game for training. It would be interesting to see how well training on a simplistic model translated to playing in the real world. Hopefully well enough to work as pre training, which could be fine tuned with real games. It would speed up the overall training time significantly.

@salia2897 Ай бұрын

@@JscWilson Human players can currently beat the robot cause they have a better intuition of the real physics. So a NN would definitively need to learn this. A physics simulation would need to be very accurate to do the training in order to be better than the hand written software.

@jessewilson3571 Ай бұрын

@@salia2897 "Intuition of the real physics" isn’t the only factor. Foosball is dynamic-another critical factor is how quickly a player or robot can receive input, make decisions, and act upon them. As an extreme example, imagine a robot capable of perfect predictions but taking an hour to process them. Another robot with faster reaction times, but less accurate predictions, could score a goal before the slower robot could respond. More accurate predictions are obviously better (all else being equal), but the robot doesn't need to have a better "Intuition of the real physics" to beat a human. That is why I said it would be interesting to see how realistic the model would need to be to be useful. One approach could involve initial training on a simpler and faster model, followed by fine-tuning on a more realistic yet slower model. Such a strategy might outperform dedicating the entire training time solely to the realistic model - but again, the question is how accurate do the models need to be?

@salia2897 Ай бұрын

First off, I am in complete awe of what you did, from start to finish the meticulous detail is amazing. Second, this has been shared by many online foos groups so expect some praise and compliments from the foos community from all over. Third, how did you account for the recoil needed to straighten out those rollovers? Seeing those snake shots at that speed gave me nightmares of the one time I played Brandon Munoz and his insane speed. Also, and not to take one iota from this massive achievement, but have you seen the Foos Gadget one? It allows you to record a defense for a certain amount of time and then jump across the table to shoot against the defense you just recorded. It also has presets in a phone app that you can load up and send to the defensive rods with increasing difficulty, it's pretty cool. However, those stick lane passes that your machine does are insane, reminds me of Tony Spredeman lane passes. Lastly, there are some foosers already saying, "He should bring this to Worlds!" (Tornado World Finals, Lexington Kentucky, Labor Day weekend)

@built-from-scratch Ай бұрын

For the third, I didn't need to do much other than manually tune the timings on the snakes. The rotational motors are insanely fast, so even though the sideways motion to start the snake is faster than the average human's, when the ball is hit it has enough forward velocity that it's reasonably straight (hopefully I'm interpreting what you mean by recoil correctly here). This was actually a bit surprising to me; I originally started with the robot doing a push shot which I thought would be a lot more consistent, but it turns out snakes are much easier to get working. For the first lastly, not 100% which device you mean, from what I can tell Foos Gadgets just sells goal spedometers/automatic scoring. Regardless the goal of this project wasn't to be solely a training aid, I really wanted a fully autonomous table so I didn't spend much time on stuff like a practice app. For the last lastly, unfortunately it's probably not possible. I've already disassembled it (I want my room back!) and I'd like to move on to other projects for now. It's not out of the question though, it would be neat!

@Klos1neMN Ай бұрын

@@built-from-scratch Wow, I was only HOPING for a response and yet here you are! Yes, you interpreted the recoil I was speaking of correctly - when humans shoot a snake they need to strike the ball while moving in the opposite direction to offset the first rule of motion. From what you are saying, it sounds like your machine does it so fast that it doesn't allow spray, which is insane. It would have been cool to see what it did with a push, I have to recoil my push back to the wall so hard that it practically jars the table. Yeah, I added two "Lastly" paragraphs, sorry. I understand that us foosers probably won't see this at the next World or National Championships but it is impressive and the foos community would love to see it live and get a chance to meet someone who loved the game enough to attempt what you have done. Once again, bravo and keep creating!

yes finally instead of watching 1 "stuff made here " style video every 2 months, i watch 1 "stuff made here "style video every month jokes aside, it is impressive how you went for such a huge project at your size, and SUCCEEDED

This is hands down the most impressive technical project I've ever seen. I've seen the UBC IGEN table, would be hilarious to see this bot destroy another bot in a match

Never seen your content before. Watched from end to end, subscribed. Teaching the robot to play with machine learning would be interesting.

10:01 ... I found THAT part quite important ... and you just skimmed over it. "WANTING TO GIVE UP" ... I am a few years older than you ... and had a pretty f-ed up life .... with too many people actually trying ...reduce, break, destroy, push me into giving up ... on everything. It is still a big process, but I am at a point, where I try to not let other people ruin my own inner peace any more ... ... and there are still TOO MANY ... trying REALLY hard ... I guess, that is my little project. I have pretty good conditions, to learn. And I really had to stop the contact to too many people, as they didn't stop trying to break my mentality. With ALL different kinds of success ... so, I am quite happy to still be here and watching this. I feel like, it is way too little appreciated, that we actually DON'T give up ... struggle through, to get a new result. I have to rewrite and rewire my very own appreciation matrix ... as it is good on it's own ... but, the vast variables of human individuals ... and their rather ... destructive chaotic coding ... they have been preventing me, from having satisfying long time results. (Other people give up ... or won't learn ... and sadly, my human shell is rather very ... dependant on too many different variables, that many people struggle way less with.)

Ohhh boy!! I would love to see all those different robots he showed in the beginning of the video competing against each other!!

This channel will grow faster than this robot can shoot the ball. Nice to have i third channel to choose next to Stuff Made Here and Mark Rober

Dude, first of all this is amazing, you are obviously a true fooser and finally built a foosball simulation worth playing... This is big. I'm so excited. I sent this to all my foos friends... Just the idea that I could zone out and practice solo is a game changer in itself. Tagging on to the end of your video here... I think with tweaks you've already realized that you have the ability to really fine-tune this thing to be unbeatable, But what's the fun in that? Chess against the computer is fun I'm sure, but as with the game of chess, the joy of foosball is really defined by the interactions between two players. I feel like you've might not be seeing the obvious next step: making a whole second control setup on the other side and allowing two people to play online against each other on a physical table. I have an idea here, and I'm going to send you a DM.

With the right approach, you could train a neural net to take care of all the robotic decisions and end up with a truly terrifying opponent

Wow! "Enjoyed" is an understatement! This table soccer robot absolutely blew my mind! I had goosebumps the entire time watching it in action. The precision, speed, and sheer brilliance of the engineering behind it are awe-inspiring. Incredible work, truly a game-changer! 👏🤖⚽ #MindBlown #NextLevelTech
