Ever since i learnt juggling i wanted to build a machine that could juggle.
Shannon was an inspiration, I wish i was as smart as him. Incidentally i discovered him when I was planning to build a maze
solver robot and looking over the youtube looking for videos of robots done before.
saw this video. I decided to build a maze solver robot which would exprore the area around leaving bread crumbs behind and explore un explored areas. I ended up building obstacle avoidance robot since my idea of attaching an marker on the bottom of bot's body leaving a trace long its path, and implementing line avoidance (line unfollower / anti line follower ) algorithm to explore area. I didnt workout well wtith the materials I had i ended up building obstacle avoider bot. I would go back one day before i leave this planet and complete it.
Comming back to my AJM, here too Shannon has been an inspiration.This video inspired me to simplify the juggling problem and build a juggling machine just like Shannon did.I shared my idea with www.circuitstoday.com
. They funded me to build this project of automated juggler with sensors micro controller and stuff. I ended up building a manual juggler disappointing them. I haven't given up though still working on automating this. If you guys have any ideas and suggestion to refine and fine tune the project please let me know in the comments. the juggling path needs to be fail proof and deterministic to be able to automate juggling machine.
Thank you
