Mech Days - Ping Pong Ball Conveyor Belt

  • Created a specialized mechanical transport system for the "Mech Days" competition, focusing on reliability and flow rate.
  • Kinematic Design: Engineered a path that prevented ball jams and "bridging," ensuring a consistent feed rate.
  • Component Selection: Calculated torque and speed requirements to select the optimal drive motor and gearing for the system's payload.
