Making a tennis ball that gruntsfrom @pablo.rochat
[01]
Overview
The creator displays electronic components on a tennis court, explaining via text overlay that they will be used to make a tennis ball that grunts. They then show the process of cutting open the ball, inserting the sensors which connect to a Bluetooth speaker, and gluing it shut. Finally, the video switches to a first-person perspective of a tennis match where the ball emits a loud grunt every time it is hit by a racket.
