Syrian Refugees Create Robot Baller

Popular Science

Is this the Steph Curry of robotic basket throwing? The competitors entered the arena, all clattering metal and fidgeting gears. They held balls, ready to hurl into their corner basket, and before them stretched several ball towers. Two years ago the sport didn't exist. Now, the robotic opponents built to play it were assembled and ready to play. The sport, invented by the VEX Robotics, is called "Nothing But Net," and is designed for mostly autonomous vehicles.
