This is almost
unbelievable. See how all of the balls wind up in catcher cones.
This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort
between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick
School of Engineering at the University of Iowa . Amazingly, 97% of the
machine's components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation
Equipment of Bancroft , Iowa . Yes, farm equipment! It
took the team a combined 13,029 hours (6.26 years) of set-up, alignment,
calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can see, it
was WELL worth the effort. It is now on display in the Matthew
Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is already slated to be donated
to the Smithsonian.
