Lego Technic Table Tennis Robot
A Lego Technic Table Tennis robot is demonstrated. The table tennis robot can launch balls at up to 10 m/s using two lego technic buggy motors driving a pair of 46mm wheels. The ball baskets holds up to 60 balls that can be fired at the player at an adjustable rate of between 1 ball per second to 1 ball every 3 seconds. The firing angle is adjustable between 15 and 45 degrees using the buwizz 3.0 pro and application on an android tablet.
The robot can produce topspin or backspin depending on the relative speed of the ball launch wheels. The robot is demonstrated on a table tennis table in backhand mode.
The lego technic table tennis robot is made of 1708 parts and measures 39.1cm x 27.2cm x 38.6cm and weight 1.593 kg.
