Hi all,
I wonder if anyone of you had constructed a robot that was able to fire using a soft foam ball ? My group had thought of using pressure valve ( aka air gun method ) as well as the tennis launcher methodology (using 2 roller placed at a certain distance apart and when the ball enters the gap, it is fired out using the frictional force of the 2 rollers) However, the former was dropped as we had no idea how to control the pressure while allowing the cannon to move about. The latter was dropped as we feared that the soft foam ball would be crushed. If anyone of you have a solution to our problem, please inform us. Thanks alot in advance !
