APT : Automateed Padel Trainer

Abstract: The purpose of this project was to build an automated padel ball launcher, with specific objectives set at the beginning. The launcher needed to be accurate enough to allow for repetitive practice, automated to function as a practical tool, and include remote control for ease of use. To achieve accuracy, the construction was designed to ensure each shot was performed similarly. Automation was achieved through the ball feeding sequence, launching the ball in a consistent manner each time. Remote control was possible via a WiFi module controlling both the feeding mechanism and motors. The prototype was constructed with readily available materials due to project constraints. The final prototype met all objectives and was tested to gather results. The results were positive, indicating the project was successful. Future development is possible based on these results.
