When JavaScript Engineers do DIY Projects
summary
A 28 square meter front-room indoor soccer arena gets built using foam blocks, a 150lb roll of turf, plywood, vinyl and a staple gun, costing about $30 per padded block versus $2,000 commercial pads. Nets and fastenings start loose, wood edges cause a bruise, then get refactored with reused materials and paracord ties. Training uses a Player Maker device and app and shows Player Maker top-10 shooting power for the child, average dribbling and high speed, so the setup works for skill development.
