What was used for the calculations for the voice assistant? I'm sure a lot of that is pretty well defined out there, but I'm not into golf so I wasn't sure.

Also was wondering about the "ball dispenser"- were you feeding a ball back into a tube for that, or is there a mechanism for loading the next one that wasn't explicitly shown, sort of like a pinball machine?

Basically +- 4 yards if it's SLIGHTLY uphill/downhill or SOME wind in either direction. If you were STEEPLY uphill/downhill or there was STRONG wind, +- 12 yards. This was just trial and error on the golf course honing it in. Would be cool to have some sensors to make that even more specific.

There were 2 tubes for the ball, so they would need to be reloaded. But my friend Jason did have a design for how I could have 12-15 balls that would automatically feed in. Just didn't have time to implement it :(
