Today we did a segment that combined everything I love: bowling. Actually, it was an interesting look at the physics of bowling, in which we talked with Paul Ridenour, research engineer at the United States Bowling Congress. They just wrapped up a two year study on bowling ball motion, conducted in response to fears that fancy new balls are making bowling more about technology than skill. They conducted their tests using "Harry," a ball-rolling robot that is the feature of this awesomely deadpan video on the USBC's website, entitled, "When Harry Met Alley." Enjoy...
