PingPong Ball Launcher
|
PingPong Ball LauncherIn PoE, we were tasked with building a ping pong ball launcher. First, we built the existing design that they gave us and wrote the program for it in RobotC. After that we made our own changes and modifications to the launcher. Our goal was to get it to launch the ball 15 feet. We changed out the sprockets in the original design and replaced them with gears. Our final robot shot the ping pong ball 21 feet. The code from our program and launcher test results are shown below:

Errors:
One major problem that my group and I ran into was a bad battery. We spent most of our time thinking that our motor was broken. After replacing our battery, our launcher worked perfectly.
