How I automated being good at Darts

Scoring a 180 as an absolute beginner in darts? Impossible...
At least that's what everyone told me. I ended up recycling a machine I previously built on this channel to find an "engineery" solution to this problem. And here it is: My dart robot!
Find out what motivated me to do so, which engineering challenges I had to overcome and how good the robot really is, when tested in a match against my friends.

Thanks for your ongoing support!
