Marketing Brew: A chief creative officer’s quest to document NYC soccer culture. “Some teams are quite official: Chinatown Soccer Club has played together since 2002 against clubs from around the world, while First Touch Football Club has been together since 2012, gathering at 7a.m. every weekday. ManChestHair United has an official sponsor (and a killer name).”

Northeastern University: This researcher put AI in the big game. It did not play well. “Northeastern University researcher Lorenzo Torresani wanted to test whether AI can help a group facing a challenge, and he found an interesting dataset with which to evaluate various popular AI models: sports footage. The result? Let’s just say the AI models were no slam dunk.”

Here is a nice paper on how to #identify #winning strategies using #explainable #MachineLearning in #TeamSports, with a special emphasis on #rugby.

We looked smug, didn't we? I am second from the right in the first photo, second from the left in the second.

You can't really see them, but we had little embroidered logos on our team jackets. "Team Low Earth Orbit", with a little flying pumpkin.

The trophy was a plastic trick-or-treat bucket spray painted gold. Maximally tacky, in a good way.

The trigger mechanism was the hardest part. This was the third iteration (in three weeks). We continued to refine it through the life of the Orbiterator, but this was a working solution. That ring was definitely overstressed. It started out round.

The big nails were pounded into the ground in a vain attempt to keep the launcher from kicking.

Here are Team C-Pepo Propulsion's trebuchet and Team Waffles' apple launcher in action.

A fraction of a second later, I was looking for the pumpkin. These photos don't capture how the launcher jumps when it fires (but see the upcoming video).

Perfectly timed photo of a launch. I think @laprice snapped this shot.

I was looking at the trigger, so I never saw where the pumpkin went.

By 2016, we could arm the Orbiterator in about 45 seconds. In 2013, we were making it up as we went, and pretty disorganized.

That's Autzen Stadium at the University of Oregon in the background. I've never been inside.

In 2014, we named this thing The Orbiterator. But in '13, it was just the launcher, or the slingshot.

It had been an intense 3 week build period. That's a kitchen colander to hold the pumpkin, and a vast amount of half inch bungee cords. (12mm)

The first annual Eugene Maker Space Punkin Chunkin'. We were Team Low Earth Orbit, and this was our launcher.
