Very cool. The algorithm development for this kind of thing is more straightforward than you might expect when it’s in an area where people have come before and the math has been worked out. Then it’s mainly an engineering problem. But when you get off the beaten path it quickly becomes a scientific problem that requires lots of imaginitive thinking and problem solving. I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall when they were thinking their way through the group behavior with the ball and the net.
I don’t care about algorithm s or any of the other high brow science involved with this. I want a fleet of those things!
