A movie where former NASA engineers `` hacked '' bowling balls and repeatedly strike



Making full use of the technical capabilities of former NASA engineers, such as making

water guns that make watermelon in two with water pressure, seriously capturing game center roulette machines , making bombs that steal thieves stealing deliveries Mr. Mark Rober, a popular YouTuber who crafts a variety of things, hacks the ball of the bowling so that it can move freely, and shows how to strike repeatedly in a movie.

Automatic Strike Bowling Ball-YouTube



Mr. Rober has an ordinary ball.



Rober's goal is to manipulate the ball freely. When the electronic board shown in the foreground is shaken to the left and right, the ball moves to the left and right.



When hacking the ball, first divide it into two.



However, the ball is packed tightly. Also, the center of gravity has been deviated from the center of the sphere so that it will be curved when thrown. So Rober first bore all the contents of the bowling.



And to realize the hacking of the ball, Rober asked for cooperation from James Bruton of YouTuber who lives in London.



Bruton is a toy designer and engineer. Bruton, who is registered in the Guinness Book of World Records that '

I made the world's largest' my sculpture 'with a 3D printer', produced Iron Man who actually works, BB-8 of Star Wars, etc. as a hobby doing.



Since Bruton has actually made a self-running BB-8, Robert seems to have decided to use the same technology for bowling hacking.



And the machine that fits in the bowling produced by Mr. Bruton.



The machine has a shaft and a weight. The weight is controlled by the

Arduino and servo motor.



When the ball is rolling, the weight tilts to the left and right, changing the center of gravity.



This board is a unit that senses the operator's tilt and sends signals to the ball wirelessly.



In addition, a switch to enable / disable the operation has been added.



Just stick the unit that senses the tilt on the back of the pilot and put the switch in your pocket.



When Mr. Robert, who attached the unit, tilts his body left and right, the bowling ball moves in the same way. A slalom made of bowling pins can be used to lay straight gaps between left and right sides by hacking, although normal bowling can only be done by pushing the pins straight.



Mr. Robert is pleased with the results of the test. I will finally try to strike repeatedly.



In order to defeat all the pins by bowling and take a strike, it is necessary to hit the ball slightly diagonally, not directly on the first pin in the center.



Specifically, the following angles. Although it is as narrow as 3 degrees, even if it can be aimed without difficulty if it is a professional, it is very difficult for amateurs to aim at a hundred shots. However, you can easily aim for a hacked ball.



In addition, with the cooperation of the bowling alley, new oil for the lane is applied ...



The pin was properly prepared and the camera was specifically approved.



When Mr. Robert tried to throw the ball without switching on the unit yet, the children who were playing bowling nearby came.



The ball doesn't roll as expected, but just leans to “Go right!” ...



The ball turned to the left and became a garter.



'Garter!'



“I am not good at bowling,” the children want to say.



So Mr. Robert puts a switch in his pocket.



“I have the power of the Jedi,” says Robert, who moves the ball the way he wants.



Looking at Mr. Rober's force, the children who had been angry up to now are silently surprised.



Rober throws the ball again.



Naturally, strikes are repeated.



Suddenly seeing a great skill, the children open their mouths openly, but ...



Children are excited and make a fuss when they strike many times.


Still, there seemed to be a child who noticed that Mr. Rober was doing some craftsmanship, and the girl was angry, 'I'm sure I've done it again!'
