Have you ever wanted to play foosball but couldn’t because you were unable to find someone to play against? The guys at instructables dot com solved this problem by creating a foosball table that has a computer opponent on one side.

The goal of this project was for a human player to be able to play against a robotic opponent. The human side of the table looks like your ordinary foosball table, however your opponents side consists of eight motors, a microcontroller, a webcam, and a computer.

The computer opponent is no tough match, however, it would be possible to speed up the computers play with a more expensive and larger gear ratio. Until this happens, I wouldn’t reccommend that you train against one of these things as you will not learn anything.

To see the table in action click play on the video below.
