This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The tennis ball is just an analog for anything actually harmful. Testing its object detection without creating genuine hazards.

What things the size and shape of a tennis ball are you concerned about it running over?

If you're worried about it running over a person, use something that looks like a person as your analogue.
