Toyota’s Basketball Robot CUE
An evening pause: The point of this is not to make a robot basketball player, but to develop robotic software and hardware with greater capabilities in all ways. And in the process Toyota hopes to make money marketing this technology in numerous other ways.
Have a great weekend.
Hat tip Cotour.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

With that level of precision, it might actually be easier to have it throw backwards, in that the arm has more travel–as opposed to flatter trajectories due to arm use a bit more like pushing….less chance of hitting the ceiling, but someone can knock it away more easily.
A backwards shot is a bit more like a mortar round that might just get over defenders.

The WNBA is worried now.
