Ball Toss Arm




Build a sturdy box.  Build in the motor.

Add a hand to hold the ball.
A lift arm rotates against the upright.

Gearing down 1 to 5 is needed for strength.

Top


40 tooth gear position is not vertical.

Rubber band springs the arm quickly forward when the lift arm is rotated.
Note: only one direction works.  Do not rotate against the bottom first.  It is hard on the motor to stall.
