EntriesUofT MIE443: RoboPong
This was my final project as a undergraduate student, our team was to design a robot that would push practice golf balls up a ramp and deposit them on to the opponents playing field. They of course will be doing the same thing to us. After two minutes of play, the winner was determined by who had more balls remaining on their side. We unfortunately went 1 for 3 and lost one match by approximately 1/3 of a golf ball. I would say that was a tie given the poor workmanship of the playing field.
I have six pictures before the break, a video followed by another batch of photos. The design is quite ingenious with the rotating sensor arm. The robot is definitely not as fast as some of the other kickers, but it is far more interesting and better designed for the class.
Here is the YouTube video followed by some more photos.
