OBJECTIVES

  • Machine should be user-friendly.
  • It should demonstrate projectile motion.
  • Machine should be portable.
  • Bot should require low maintenance.
  • Machine should be automatic.
  • Launching angle will vary during demonstration.

BALL LAUNCHING MACHINE/BOT(VERSION 1.1)

Design a user-friendly, portable machine that demonstrates projectile motion automatically. It should require low maintenance and be easy to set up and operate, providing an efficient way to showcase the concept by changing the launching angle.

CONSTRAINTS

  • Machine should cost within Rs 4000.
  • Its dimensions should be 1.51.51.5 ft.
  • Machine should weigh within 1 kg.
  • Launching and loading of ball should require less than 15 seconds.
  • Bot should launch one ball at a time.

BALL LAUNCHING MACHINE/BOT(VERSION 1.2)

Design a user-friendly, portable machine that demonstrates projectile motion automatically. It should require low maintenance and be easy to set up and operate, providing an efficient way to showcase the concept by changing the launching angle. Bot should cost within Rs 4000, and weigh no more than 1 kg. Its dimensions should be 1.51.51.5 ft, and it should be able to load and launch one ball at a time in less than 15 seconds.

FUNCTIONS

  • Machine should calculate and display range
  • It should sense the ball
  • Machine should store the balls.
  • Bot should indicate when the launcher is ready for next launch

BALL LAUNCHING MACHINE/BOT(VERSION 1.3)

Design a user-friendly, portable machine that demonstrates projectile motion automatically. It should require low maintenance and be easy to set up and operate, providing an efficient way to showcase the concept by changing the launching angle. The bot should cost within Rs 4000, and weigh no more than 1 kg. Its dimensions should be 1.51.51.5 ft, and it should be able to load and launch one ball at a time in less than 15 seconds. It should calculate and display the range of each launch and sense the ball to ensure proper loading. It should also be able to store the balls and indicate when it’s ready for the next launch, making it easy to use and efficient for repeated demonstrations.
