The Big Lebowski, a Bowling Robot with a Camera for a Brain
Team 19’s tabletop machine reads six pin positions, moves a bowling ramp, and releases a steel ball toward its chosen target.
- For
- Mechatronics students and curious machine builders
- Worth noticing
- The archive includes 53 files spanning reports, MATLAB and Simulink files, design drawings, and an editable Blender reconstruction.
Field notes
The machine combines a fixed overhead camera, ring light, HSV-based pin detection, and a motorized translating ramp. Its control sequence checks six positions, chooses a target from expected knockdown scores, moves the ramp with encoder feedback, and opens a servo gate. The archive preserves more than a showcase video: it links engineering reports, MATLAB and Simulink material, design drawings, a Blender reconstruction, and 53 files organized across four stages.
