I Made the World's Best Foosball Robot!

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!

Thank you to Teknic, Qualisys and Tornado/Home Billiards for making this possible!
Parts: SC4-HUB, IPC-5, PWR-IO-24VDC, CPM-SCSK-2331S-ELNA, CPM-SCSK-2331P-ELNA, CPM-SCSK-2331S-RLNA, CPM-SCSK-2331P-RLNB, CPM-SCSK-2310S-RLNA

I love this.

I am a software developer. At my former employer we played foosball as much as we coded. We were always joking about this very idea. To see this video makes me unreasonably happy.

"Hey you wanna see my foosball playing robot" - fastest way anyone's gotten me into their bedroom

[NeptuneDesigner]

A new "Stuff Made Here" is born !

Amazing project.

[renurajamagesh]

A god-level foosball robot and it’s remotely controllable? Insane! Quite possibly the coolest toy anyone’s ever had in their bedroom

[Etrehumain]

I saw the chess video and I was like "okay with enough studying I could maybe do that". But this, the whole software to make a robot able to play this sport, I have zero absolutly zero idea how to approach it. This part is bonkers for me.

Bro is gonna blow up on yt I'm calling it

[kenmohler]

You not only built an amazing machine, but your production values and narration were also top notch. This praise comes from a 77 year old man who never had the hand eye coordination to play an even acceptable game of foosball.

holly shit that no eyes smack was crazy

[JeffGeerling]

I was here before 100k subscribers. These projects make me question whether my brain is like some outdated caveman model. Strong Stuff Made Here vibes, and I'm here for it!

[SoCalFlyingMonkey]

I’m blown away by your commitment to and execution of this project at such a young age. I hope you keep making things you find interesting and that it brings you tons of future success in whatever way you define success. Others may be able to do the technical stuff you can but your personality and sense of humor will always separate you.

You are like Michael Reeves if he went to rehab

[myrmatta]

This dude has 2 videos and he's already making higher quality content than 90% of creators

Nice job on this! I designed built one of these as well for Oklahoma State University, on ours I trained a neural network to control the rod actuators. Additionally a core objective of ours was to make it the same footprint as an actual foosball table because the previous version had the side mounted actuators like yours and was extremely large!

[Syz_gy]

Bro if this shit doesn't blow up like your last. . . Man, that first seven seconds had me already hooked. It's not enough that you're building a robot, but you gotta pull off feats of skill like *that?* Man, my jaw dropped. Glad I subbed back then.

Alsp holy crap the flexing with that blind shot. You're nuts.

[DanielFlailed]

I had a foosball table growing up where the players' heads could also occasionally hit the ball. It was really cool.

[aidenroy]

Bro your channel is incredible, im a college student I think a few years older than you. Idk why but your channel is the epitome of ”I thought it so I did it.” A motivation I wish I had more off.

[charles-yzc]

Used to play a lot many moons ago. I always had the rear defender rod with two men and the front defender with 3.
I have also been a software engineer for 35 years and am very impressed with your skills, rarely do you see a hardware engineer also doing the software engineering. Nice job

[mr_tantrum]

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!

Video turned out amazing. Btw That's my hand in the stream at 13:48.
