After considering our various design criteria and build preferences, we chose to develop and design the Net Frame. We have included a full assembly view and individual part multiview drawings with dimensions.
Building and Testing: We were able to successfully build our Net Frame and it passed all of the tests we designed based on our original design criteria. The results of testing and our analysis is in the section below.
Features: Our product consists of an adjustable Net Frame with a bouncy net secured by screw pegs. The net can be stretched across to different amounts to adjust the tension. The diagonal braces attaching the main frame to the base is secured with metal pins, and the base leg has different holes along its length to adjust the angle of the frame. The user can hit against the net from the front or the back, and the adjustable tension and angle allow the user to train different tennis skills.
Electronics: Each of the four corners of the frame has an LED protected with a 3D printed case. The wires are routed through the pipes with DuPont connectors at each intersection for easy assembly. The Arduino at the base sends a random signal to the LEDs to tell the user which quadrant of the net they should hit to, providing an interactive training experiences.
