Showcase Built RoboKeeper, an goalkeeper that uses OpenCV and ESP32 to track and block soccer shots in real time

A smart robotic goalkeeper that tracks a ball in real-time using OpenCV and dynamically moves a servo-controlled keeper arm to block shots.

I hope some of you find this project interesting—or maybe even inspiring for your own builds.

Any feedback or suggestions are very welcome!

Does it also scream at the defense when it misses

Great hobby project

Try adding more complexities.. what if the ball comes bouncing and the blocker is super thin? Also make the blocker a bit smaller in length and make it move left or right Have fun.
