Frisbee Launcher Presentation

The team with the Frisbee launcher:

Finishing the design and testing

After making sure that there were no other problems with our prototype we proceeded with completing the  frame. Our idea to make it mobile is to build some kind of a frame like a wheelbarrow. We used an old bike frame and we decided to have at at 4 feet high.

Building the final Prototype

We were not successful with repairing the fan motor; therefore we decided to replace the fan motor with an 11 inch diameter wheel and a motor with a higher RPM rate. We also chose to use metal instead of wood for the Frisbee arch because it is smoother and will create less friction.


Here is a video of our first successful launch:
