Skeeball

 

The skeeball mechanism utilizes a single vertical rubber flywheel to launch the game piece for the shooter task. The wheel, attached to a metal axle, is powered by an F2838-350kv-Z underwater DC motor. For the indexer, a gravity-powered turntable feeding mechanism is used to store the game pieces. It is powered by a Nema 17 stepper motor which allows for the balls to be fed to the flywheel incrementally. The ball then rolls down the ramp and is ejected from the system. The skeeball launcher as a whole has a rotating base, allowing the system to rotate horizontally powered by a Nema 23 stepper motor.
