Hello Everyone—
First time builder, but a fan of robots ever since I got my first set of “Robotix” way back in the 80’s.
My goal is to poll the group on my idea to see what parts I would need, and to see if I could do this better.
What I want to build: Volleyball launcher.
What an example of one looks like:
amazon.com/dp/B0051232MK?re … ad_dp_ovrl
What it is: a dual wheel/motor system in which the wheels spin at opposite directions to ‘shoot’ volleyball with different types of spins on it imitating different types of serves (top spin serve, float serve, etc).
What I think I need: 2 DC motors large and strong enough to launch a volleyball, a way to control the speed of the motors independently from each other, a power source (rechargeable battery), the ability to view and control the speeds via an app or bluetooth on android.
The logistics of the metal framing, ball basket, etc I will work out myself, but I am looking for technical insight very specifically on the right motors and speed control/bluetooth board to consider purchasing.
More details available if needed. Thanks in advance fore your help
