I built a Tennis ball launcher for my Jack Russell Max, just have to teach him to place the ball in the ball hopper now! In the video Max is wearing a Elizabethan collar because he was still recovering from being desexed. 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. 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. Some of the footage in this video was taken during the prototype stage hence why the box appeared to shake a lot (rubber feet and front mount were not installed) I used parts from Jaycar, Bunnings, city dismantlers and scrap from the bin. For any further information private message me your email. thank you to HackaweekTV and Jeannot Fretz for some helpful idea's (Links to their videos below) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9UOcUKazSA&t=705s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfTJtT-hiZU
