Basketball Moves

Over the years the game of basketball has become increasingly popular worldwide, especially among young adults. The different moves used in basketball are really stylish and effective for shaking one’s opponent to the net. As such if you are interested in playing the sport, here are a few of the moves that you ought to be familiar with.

Dribbling simply refers to when a person is moving while bouncing the ball constantly at the same time. The wraparound is another basketball move where the individual with the ball (ball handler) is bouncing the ball with one hand and dribbles it behind his/her back to pass it to his/her other hand. This move is mostly used when an opponent (defender) moves in to snatch the ball from the ball handler.

Another basketball move is the spin move where the ball handler rotates his/her body to stand between the defender and the ball instead of facing the defender. This move can be done while the ball handler is dribbling or while playing in a post position. However, the sudden rotation can leave the ball handler a little disoriented but if done properly it can successfully throw off the defender.

A crossover dribble is a move in which the ball handler switches the pace at which he/she dribbles the ball to perplex the defender. If the defender is going in one direction and the ball handler does a crossover, it is hard for the defender to switch directions so abruptly and in some situations the defender might even fall down which is known as an ankle breaker.

Another move is the behind the back dribble in which the ball handler bounces the ball behind his/her back and changes it to the other hand. This move is different from the wraparound as the ball is not intended to go around the body as it is in the wraparound move. This move is most useful if your teammate is occupied, to move nearer to the hoop with minimum space between yourself and the defender, or to outrun the defender.

In a 2 person basketball game there are some moves that are used which are not commonly used in a game between 2 full teams as there is more space to run around and fewer defenders to consider. One of these is a give and go move in which the ball handler passes the ball to his/her teammate and quickly runs to an open place to get the ball. This move is normally used to bring the ball closer to the hoop while being able to move swiftly to another position.

One more 2 player move is a back door play where a player gets behind the defense, gets the ball and gets an easy score. This move is usually pulled off when the defenders are focused on the ball handler and are not paying attention to the other player or the open space behind them.

We have all come up on different instances where we were prompted to build project whether for school, work or even your own pleasure. Believe it or not a robot can be very popular in these instances. So in this how – to – guide we will explore the materials and steps required to build a robot.

How To Build A Robot

Required Tools

Scissors

Required Materials

Wheel base

Nickel Cadmium battery

Receiver Combo (4 or 6 degrees of movement)

2 Velcro pieces

Professional Strength glue

2 Servos

Dual – lock tape

Instructions

1.Search around for any old toy parts that can be used, specifically old radio-controlled (RC) cars. These can be stripped down and the batteries, receivers, servos and more can all be used in your robot, saving you money. Also, think about stripping off the unnecessary plastic pieces and leaving the wheel base of the RC car to make of.

2.Locate a wheel base (or strip down the existing RC car), leaving only the wheel base. Put aside the other components. Take two Velcro parts and join each to the wheel base using professional-strength glue, with one Velcro piece on the rear of the base and one on the top.

3.Connect a nickel-cadmium battery to the bottom Velcro piece, and then attach a 4- or 6- way connecter to the top Velcro part. The “ways,” or degrees, of the receiver refer to the level of movement it allows your robot. Ensure your receiver and controller are compatible and give for the same amount of degrees of movement. A 4-way connecter allows for up-down, left-right movement for example, while 6 ways allows for more free diagonal movement, as well.

4.Connect two servos to your wheel bottom using dual-lock tape. Make sure the servos are found on the perimeter of the wheel bottom near the wheels, but on opposite sides of the base from one another.

5.Wire all your parts to the connecter. Glance at the receiver and examine the channels at the end of it. All your components will be wires into the ends of these channels. Connect the battery to the connecter, via the channel marked “Batt” or “Battery.” Then, join the dual servos in directly adjacent channels on the connecters but away from the battery connection.

6.Turn on your robot project with your receiver and check if it works. You now have a functional robot. Add any decorative touches to your robot as you choose.

Tips & Warnings

Finding the tool in a receiver might be tricky. Sometimes it looks like a little watch battery with two wires coming from it. It may also be cylindrical. But it will always be somewhat weighty compared to other components its size
