1. Mechanical Design: Ensure the frame is sturdy, and all components (motors, gears, and launch mechanism) are securely mounted. Balance the structure for stability during operation.
2. Motor System: Use high-torque DC motors or stepper motors for reliable ball launching. Fine-tune the motor speed for desired ball velocity.
3. Ball Feeding Mechanism: Implement a hopper or conveyor to automate the ball-loading process without jamming.
4. Control System: Use a microcontroller (e.g., Arduino or ESP32) to control motor speed, ball feeding timing, and any additional features.
5. Safety Features: Include emergency stop mechanisms and sensors to prevent misfires.
6. Power Supply: Ensure a stable power source with sufficient voltage and current for the motors and electronics.
