we have a physics project and the goal is to make a device that will play a variant of golf. we have to design a device to strike a ball into a hole using as few strokes as possible. there are going to be three holes we need to "play" with our machine- 1st 40yard straight 2nd a "dog leg" 30 yards each side and the 3rd a 70yard straight away.
i was wondering if anyone had any cool ideas that would allow for a ball to accurately and constantly launched from a movable device
here are the rules:
the launching mechanism must not use more than a minimum of human force,
the device must be able to easily reset after each trial,
you can select a "ball" that u wish to use,
ball must be spherical and not able to move under its own power,(darn)
the device should if at all possible not use any consumable parts if used they must be able to reset quickly,
spending limit no more than $100,
under no circumstances explosives, incendiary devices, or pressure-based devices of any kind can be used -this stinks:(
all energy put into device must be mechanical or electrical in nature,
must be safe,
device must be able to fit through class room door
thanks
