YOs-
This is a perfect illustration of diversity in subjectivity.
What works for each of us may be the same as or different to what works
for others.
When we look at another person's project we might feel...
...excited to duplicate it.
...depressed that someone else thought of it first.
...inspired to do something different.
...inspired to do something better.
And most of us have all of these reactions at various times: depending
on the project, how difficult it is, how much new learning is involved,
whether it might help us earn our livings or create right-livelihood
jobs for ourselves and others, whether it's something for work, play,
learning, socializing, etc., whether it facilitates creative expression
or scientific discovery, what kind of technology it uses, etc.

i disagree with this sentiment 100%
it's much easier to get a project moving if someone has already tried and documented
a similar project. what's the harm in looking? we all stand on the shoulders of
giants - seeing a run through of how someone has already completed the basic steps of a
project that may use some of the same principles and learning from the mistakes/efforts of
others frees your limited time up for additional awesomeness in the design, and can help
avoid late-night-almost-finished-but-still-fruitlessly-debugging,
sanity-destroying-once-you-realize-how-much-time-you-just-wasted pitfalls.

your time and is a sure fire way to doom creating your own projects
Trust me on this one I've learned this from bitter experience
Just focus on making your own stuff ...

This sounds like fun. Add a Raspberry Pi, a web
cam, and openCV, and you have a pretty nice playground.

Watching this video, it seems to me that we could
do an automated foosball game if we had some basic gearing going both ways.
