Week 0 - Final Project Sketching and Modeling
# Final Project Idea
My final project idea is to make a wiffle ball pitching machine.
I started by sketching different views of the pitching machine. I don’t really have a great grasp on the details or logistics of what the pitching machine will look like, so I simply sketched out a general pitching machine. I think I want to launch the balls using several spinning rubber wheels, but the setup will be heavily dependent on what motors I can get my hands on for the project.

Part of the assignment for this week was to model our final project idea as well. I opted to CAD a simplistic model of a pitching machine in Fusion360. I used this for the motor, this for the rubber wheels, and this for the tripod.
