Describe the challenge your project is trying to solve.
For those who struggle to beat their friends at the game of Foosball, there is the Foozinator.
For those who can’t wait for the World Cup, the Foozinator provides temporary relief
And in a world where fun is a constant need, we present to you, the Foozinator.
Describe how you addressed the challenge through your project.
The Foozinator was never intended to tackle climate change or solve world hunger. Instead, it is a project that seeks to demonstrate how fun engineering can be. As mediocre foosball players, our goal is to design a robot to beat even the most skilled human opponent. As a work in progress, we will continue to bless the Foozinator with superhuman abilities.
