Re: Pitching Machine Physics
my team has considered this idea, refering to it as a "tenis ball shooter"
-we would use two wheels in a horizontal plane (adjustable for aiming) to provide the main power
-we would use a third wheel underneath the others in a vertical plane to add spin, there being no wheel on top to counter the force it exerts on the ball
then one insitefull member commented on how inacurate tenisball shooters were, and how that they were desighned to be inacurate to create more of a challenge...
we are most likely going to look into other methods of ball propulsion
Edit: for those teams that have already tested this system, did you achieve any acuracy?
