Can you recalibrate your robot to ensure a fair basketball game?
In short: You built a basketball-playing robot, the Dunk-O-Matic, but it has been modified to automatically adjust its skill level against human opponents. This video explores the logic required to recalibrate the machine to ensure a fair match for every player.
The Dunk-O-Matic was designed to demonstrate specific capabilities, but its current programming forces it to adapt its performance to match the skill of whoever it faces. This creates a challenge for the owner, who must figure out how to override this automatic adjustment.
Dan Katz explains the mechanics behind this problem, guiding viewers through the logic needed to restore fairness to the game.
