A two-legged robot with a spring-loaded ping-pong ball launcher designed and fabricated by my group and I. For our final MECHENG 2C04 class project, we were tasked to make a robot with the goal of moving forward to a goal and scoring with the ping-pong ball as many times as possible in 1 minute. Our robot featured a reduced gear ratio to allow the legs to spin faster, which allowed our team to place 6th in the class, scoring 5 times in 8 runs within a minute. Our robot was designed to be relatively modular, allowing us to move around parts as seen in the images.
