In this episode, we're focusing on giving Jugglebot the ability to "see" the balls it juggles! Join me as I explore different options for positioning the depth camera, ensuring the entire juggling path is captured and avoiding any blind spots. We'll dive into the modeling process for the ball's trajectory and the camera's field of view, discuss the pros and cons of various camera placements, and reveal the final choice for Jugglebot's "eyes." Don't miss this exciting step towards a fully-functioning juggling robot!
