Racquetball Launcher

With the help of the UCSD capstone team, MAE156B, a new racquetball launcher was developed for the completion of this year’s Supply Drop task. The launcher uses a compound gear-driven spring puncher secured by a fang and a sear plate system. This mechanism is servo-triggered for precise shot timing and features an indexing drum mechanism that rotates through the racquetballs.
