Question

Imagine you had to instruct a basket-carrying robot to meet and catch the ball on the

other side of the dividing line at the bottom of the video.  

What distance would you have to enter into the machine to have it place the basket

exactly where the ball will land when it hits the bottom of the video?

What assumptions would you have to make about the ball’s motion to be able to apply kinematics

to this problem?
