The cool thing about the article was that I learned about the free video tracking/analysis software. Could be pretty interesting stuff in other contexts.
Another great program is Vernier Video Physics for iOS devices. http://www.vernier.com/soft/videophysics.html
Also, Angry Birds physics makes me angry -- it's terribly unrealistic.
I built an pneumatic cannon to launch tennis balls and rockets etc with my kids and I want to figure out the height and speed of various projectiles and air pressures.
