We decided to switch from our etchasketch idea to a ping pong ball cannon! Here are the first few sketches we designed. Essentially, our goal is to create a platform inside a barrel which can be automatically compressed and released by an arduino control board and several motors. This will propel the ping pong ball.
Additionally, we would like to account for an adjustable launch angle (which may be done using a rotating egg shaped mechanism), as well as a rotating base.
New Team Name: Team Ping-Pong Ball Launcher (PPBL)
