Personal Beverage Pong Machine Team 6: Funk City 2065
The Team • Lauren Ballard • Austin Soplata • Todd Dewberry • And (of course!) The Personal Beverage Pong Machine!!!
The Pong Purpose • The device launches a preset ping pong ball into a beverage cup; utilizing rubber band tension, gravity, the spring force of mouse trap, string tension, and air pressure from a paintball gun! • It should be used for game purposes only!
In the end…. • After many trials (and we mean many!),as you can see, success is at hand! • Simplicity is a major priority and we strived to keep it. • Too many materials may cause mayhem! • Learning to not be stubborn with others ideas is a process we all learn in working with groups and is highly important! • (Note: Todd learned it’s not nice to shoot people with the air from paintball guns Thank you.)
