The Basketball Launcher Attachment expands the capabilities of the Aluminum Robot by adding a programmable ball launching mechanism. Designed specifically for the Aluminum Robot platform, this accessory allows students to experiment with mechanical actuation, timing, and controlled launching behavior.
The attachment mounts directly to the robot and integrates with the robot’s programmable system, allowing launching actions to be triggered through code.
This attachment is engineered exclusively for the Aluminum Robot and is not compatible with other Windtree robotics platforms. The structure mounts securely to the robot’s chassis, creating a stable platform for launching activities and robotics challenges.
Students can program the launching system using code2grow.com, allowing them to experiment with timing, sequencing, and trigger-based actions. This creates opportunities for robotics games, engineering challenges, and creative problem-solving.
The Basketball Launcher Attachment demonstrates how robots can be extended with new tools and mechanisms. By adding functional accessories, students can transform the robot into a platform for new experiments and challenges.
This accessory requires the Aluminum Robot and cannot operate independently.
