Tennis ball picker upper
This is a robot i started designing since the contest was out and it picks up tennis balls that are lying around in the tennis court. I like tennis so i thought about a way to help me because it helps me chill and relax while playing tennis as well as help me keep playing outside safely and comfortably. I enter this robot it both the "just chillin" category and the the "great outdoors". A brief description is that the arm picks up the ball and the ball is lifted up by two treads and then deposited into the cargo bin that hold up to 5 balls. Future versions to come. Thank you and please post any comments. (For the moderators, the .rbt is in the next two steps because i could not fit them all in at once) ----------------------------------------- I thought that this might be okay to submit for the new contest adventure bot as well because it helps you journey though tennis lessons without having to pick up the balls. Tnx.

The arm

The arm consists of a motor that continuously spins and occasionaly knocks a ball onto a conveyor belt. In the case that is misses, the arm moves and a fast speed and immediately protects the ball from leaving and will knock the ball in the conveyorbelt as shown in the clip above.

The cart

the cart was made by piecing together a car frame of 4 motors and and stopping and going depending on the fact that a tennis ball is present or not

  • That is very cool! I think that you should cover the ball storage bit so that the balls do not accidentally fall out
