Description

This is part of the tweet controlled ping pong ball launcher made for the BBC world service radio show "Click"

This is the 5th redesign on the device, as designs that included a hopper were prone to jamming.

Instructions

Lasercut all parts from 3mm material. (I use mdf)

Use bolts and nuts to make the main section.

Glue the disks to the servos.

Fill a poster tube or similar with ping pong balls and insert into holes.

Plug servos into an arduino or similar and rotate servos to drop pingpong balls through the "air lock"
