I've received some interesting comments about the Hack-a-Bat including "Wow thats a really great idea, but there is no way I could ever build anything like that", or "I would need three degrees in engineering to figure that one out!", or my favorite, "man if I could build that, I would be a millionaire!" 

Well I want to help you "get a grip" on the hack-a-bat by breaking the project down into its core components. I will attempt to help those of you out there itching to hack-your-bat. This series of articles will give you a basic understanding of how the circuitry and software works, as well as the geometry, calculus and physics involved with the project.
