Finally finished my Tennis ball launcher with a 6 ball feeder, i added Infrared remote control but the final version will be internet controlled via an android app on my phone from anywhere in the world using an internet relay by Brick Electric. 

The ball feeder can be programmed to feed all 6 balls or single balls each time the system is activated by a relay

The electronics consists of a wiper motor that is activated by a relay when a tennis ball rolls onto a micro switch, the system is protected by a 10amp fuse and the Ball feeder by a 2amp fuse.

The Mechanics use a wacker bar that freely pivots on a high tensile bolt and once the wipe motor turns enough, the spring tension activates the force required to hit the ball. You can see how it works mechanically in my other video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPTNmYdgc14

I used parts from Jaycar, Bunnings, city dismantlers and scrap from the bin. 

For any further information feel free to comment below or private message me your email and i'll be in touch!
