Re: Calculating Trajectory
Our team has a similar idea. We are using the ultrasonic sensor and camera to find out how far away we are from the hoops, then you can calculate trajectory with the equations of motion. The position vs. time equation can be modified to include the drag coefficient of the ball when you launch it, and the angle and range of the trajectory can be calculated using either:
Range = R = Vi^2 * Sin 2x / g
2x = Sin^-1(gR/Vi^2)
