Fantastic. Most from spare parts, it appears. In a world where it seems no one makes or fixes anything anymore this was a great thing to see. You could make money from the plans as I am sure there are more out there like you, who would attempt a project such as this one but need footprints to follow. Well done, my friend!
nice project. is the wheel also working, if the box is full with balls? mine gets stuck, if i have it full with balls. I think the torque is too small, cause im not using gears like you and attached the motor directly to the wheel
I just don't get it... You spent what - 20 hours at BEST building this? Even at a Shop Bill Rate of $80/hr, your device cost $1600 in labor alone. These projects are only interesting if you can actually (and GENUINELY) build them with ORDINARY parts & skill for far far UNDER a typical "new" price tag like the Slinger Bag for only $715 delivered. I get the impression you guys are all shop nuts first... and tennis players far far far second. FRIENDLY CHALLENGE: Start with something far CHEAPER than a $715 Slinger Bag (say a pitching machine?) and turn THAT into a TennisBallLauncher far far FASTER and CHEAPER than building something from SCRATCH in a shop. THEN you'll be onto something ! :-)
Yeah but think of it this way, Tennis ball machines break down frequently. If you build it yourself, you can easily repair it anytime it breaks, and make changes to strengthen weak areas that you find.
My gosh. What an aggressive comment, lmfao. What about the customizability factor? With your own machine, you’re able to include features like: serving (height adjustment), wider range of speeds and angles, recoil mitigation (more precise shots) via line detection, etc…

Can anybody think of a better ball drop system? Not liking the revolving disc method
Can you provide the plans?
Hi. Very nice. What is max speed?
Nice project. Is it working? I'm staterd to create similar with esp32 and blueotooth. The hardware is the bigest chalenge.

Yes, you are right: YOU DONˋT GET IT.
