2 Humans vs automated side. It uses the data such as the position of the ball, the position of the Axes, and goals scored to create an understanding of the game through reinforcement learning.

The documentation is far from perfect because we just scraped some pictures and videos together trying to create instruction. Because this is poorly documented we don't recommend starting this project without a clue what you're dealing with. Dangerous electric power, some money, annoyance.

The component lists are only the parts for one axle if you want multiple you'll just have to duplicate them. Not all parts are present, we had much parts laying around to use.

Bucket: The bucket is the wooden plank assembly which consists of a playing field surround by walls and a bottom plate for extra stability. The mechanism, electrical system, and other stuff are mounted on it.


LRAM: Linear Rotational Axle Mechanism, this mechanism actuates the required movement for the automated players in the table.

LCS: Light Coordinating System this system figures out where the ball is in the field. How he does that is explained in the instructions.

KOS: Knock Off System this is just a simple way how we find out where the axle of the human sides is. We called it KOS because we saw it in another automated foosball table.

    Order Everything

    Omc-Stepperonline: pretty straight forward just sign up, and order.

    Maedler: is a site where we order many mechanical parts. These parts are universal and available on many sites. https://www.mcmaster.com/

    Bearings: maybe it's locally available otherwise many sites are available for orderings these bearings, same goes for Timinig Belt, Pulleys, Retaining rings square axle, Circulair axle, end stops, MDF Plate.

    Sheet Metal: https://metalscut4u.com/carbon-steel, https://www.247tailorsteel.com/nl, https://csmfab.net/

    Bucket

    The Bucket is pretty straightforward, you get a wooden plank 18mm thick. you cut the required pieces out of it to make the field. We used a total piece of 344X122cm. And had something to spare. You need to be a little creative on the holes not everything is done for.

    This undercarriage looks pretty cool. It was drenched with linseed oil. It had no time to dry.

    LRAM (Linear Rotational Axle Mechanism)

    We thought about a rack and pinion system. Electromagnet system, only they're really expensive.

    So we settled for something more simple.

    One part is a linear belt system where a slider is dragged linearly over an axis. there's a bearing clamped into the slider. Which allows for free rotation whilst the linear movement.

    The inside was the first circular with a feather key inside it. The other part would slide through. The problem we ran into was that the friction was too high. So we used a rectangular aluminum extrusion with the same mechanical principle in mind, only a different shape to translate the force to.

It's incredible to see the innovation and technology behind the 2 Humans vs automated side table. The use of data such as ball position, Axes position, and goals scored to develop an understanding of the game through reinforcement learning is impressive. Although the documentation may not be perfect, the effort put into gathering pictures and videos to create instructions is commendable.

It's important to recognise the potential challenges and risks associated with starting this project without a clear understanding of what you're dealing with, including dangerous electric power, financial investment, and potential annoyances. It's crucial to proceed with caution and ensure proper safety measures are in place.

I also want to try same I will surely be in contact to discuss for now I'll share my project related to footwear, https://footyware.com/best-indoor-soccer-shoes/

The component lists provided offer a starting point, and it's good to know that duplication is possible for multiple axles. It's worth mentioning that not all parts may be included, as the project utilised available resources.

Overall, the ingenuity and cost-effectiveness of this mechanism are worth appreciating. Many universities and institutions are exploring interesting solutions, but it's impressive to see that your team has developed a relatively affordable build. Keep up the great work!

Very cool! Where can I see more material related to this project?

Unfortunately nowhere. This is all we got so far, we'll be updating this project as the project develops.

Nice work. I've made something similar.

That's a very nice mechanism. A lot more compact than ours.

That's an interesting challenge to keep the linear agility of the rods as fast as possible while also being able to rotate them fast enough to send the ball flying. Actually gives me a lot of appreciation for what the human players are able to accomplish.

Sixth_Nassau wrote 05/10/2021 at 18:11 • point

There's indeed a lot to appreciate about the human players. As you said we need to keep the linear as well as the rotational agility high, to maximize the agility we need quick acceleration by minimizing mass inertia and maximizing actuation force. A lot of universities have interesting solutions, but one thing is sure that our mechanism is one of the cheapest to build.
