Spikeball Robot

For Stanford’s 2020 CS225A: Experimental Robotics class, my project team decided to simulate a game of Spikeball. Because of COVID-19 restriction, instead of playing this game in real life, we simulated the gameplay inside of the SAI2 Robotics Simulation Environment developed at Stanford. Four 7-degree of freedom Panda Robotic Arms hold flat plates which they use to direct and hit the ball to either their teammate robot or to spike the other team. Below is a short video of the results. Our team writeup can be found here
