Ball Launcher
Ball launcher is a hands-on activity designed to introduce you guys to something exciting and interesting, the concept of projectiles. Projectiles are the objects thrown by exerting a force.
You can now build your own launchers using servo motors to have projectiles swinging just by the push of a button! Challenge your friends to this fun filled engineering task besides testing accuracy of various materials. Have a go and set up your own carnival!
Supplies Required

How It Works
One end of the rectangular cardboard piece is attached to the servo motor while the other end is attached with the paper cup that holds the ball to be shot.
