Team Members:
Oscar Brown-Velasquez, Robert Lim, Daniel Agbara, Safir Alqahtani , Charles Gundlach
Summary/Overview:
Team 4, henceforth referred to as Yung DOF, will design and build a mechanism that will pitch a whiffle ball between 2-8 m/s from an angle of 20-60 degrees. A control system, likely controlled by a rotary dial, will allow the user to adjust their pitch speed and angle to accommodate their size. This mechanism will be the middle ground between tee ball and a flywheel, high speed pitching machine. It is intended for children ages 7-11 to refine their motor skills and work up to hitting balls at speed.
