Getting closer to my goal of 10 seconds. The images at the start from left to right are Enrico Rastelli (1920s), Leon Rabello (1936) and Paolo Bedini (1943). The machine learning shows a genetic algorithm evolving a multi-layer perceptron neural network controller to perform the balance in 2 dimensions. A 2D rigid-body physics engine was used for the simulation. The performance of each trial was assessed based on the time balanced and the average 'uprightness' of the stack over the duration of the balance. http://www.mathworks.co.uk/matlabcentral/fileexchange/36911-machine-learning-balancing-a-stack-of-balls

Co host "Awesome" Kyle Peterson talking about and getting on a lot of comedic tangents about the Physics of Juggling research paper, Casey Rentmeester's WJF Profile Vid 2011, the Synergy series, Kyle suing the city of NYC over Unicycling tickets, and the Swedish and Israeli Juggling Conventions.

Here's a physics lesson that shows you how to calculate the relative heights of siteswap throws. How much higher is a 7 than a 6? or a 9 than a 5?
