I'm gonna make a digital/robot assisted beer pong table. This way, we can watch the robots play and just drink to it. Fat and lazy people only! And absolutely no girls... they have cooties. |

I'm all for the nerd-tastic digital read outs, but I'd rather play the old fashioned way. Things like this only prove that we are getting lazier as a society. We always want something that can do the work for us so all we have to do is sit there and give the command. |

It's just pool, can't you just learn to get better by practice? |

Exactly, lazyme. Invest a few hundred dollars in a better webcam and faster machine, perfect the program, make an all in one prototype and attempt to put it on the marker. |

Leave it to Georgia Tech to over-complicate (and fail at) a simple game of pool. |

basically... just practice.... u dont need some complicated crap software to pot a ball. However its a good idea :):) jus doesnt take into account how hard you hit the ball, how bouncy the cushions are, and how fast the cloth is, and how heavy the balls are. |

yeah...or you could learn to do that in your head. but in all seriousness it's a cool concept, but it needs a lot more work. |

A good start but more effort needed. Buy a better camera and use a faster machine, for starters. |

they should really have like a clear table top with the projector underneath. Also their physiocs engine doesnt seem to be taking into account on how hard they are hitting the ball. I hope they get funding for this. Or have it patented atleast. |

This could be the worst thing I have ever seen. A lot of time and effort wasted there for a machine that did not even help make one single shot. Either these guys really suck at pool or that machine really sucks. |
