Farnell organised a competition between Leeds Hackspace and Pumping Station One (Chicago). The challenge is to building something using a Beaglebone Black. We attempted to create a robotic foosball table player. We came second in the competition due to various reasons...

Code for the driver controller, PRU and OpenCV tracking is here: https://github.com/pbrook/beagle-football

Current progress:

  • Acquired a football table
  • Ordered a ps3 eye webcam (640x480 @ 75fps) for ball tracking
  • pbrook has designed a mechanism in openscad to move the players
