Robotic Foosball Table

A team of four Electrical and Computer Engineering undergrads have designed and built a fully autonomous Robotic Foosball table over the course of a semester.

The software was written in java, which is operating system independent. However, there were a few specific details that were specific to linux, which is the Operating System they used. Looks like especially for these types of projects, Windows is rather pricey for what you get (also, Linux lets you play much friendlier with low-level hardware stuff).

The total parts cost here under $500, including the foosball table, but not including the power supply or old PC used to control.
