3D model description

The RoboBaller is a fully printable mechanical variation of the robotic basketball sculpture I designed for this youtube video. The arm mimics that of an actual basketball shot using a unique linkage design paired with a compound gear train. The files include the STLs for the shooting arm as well as the basketball net. Print one or many and throw down a game of horse, or see if you can make some trick shots!

It was designed for these balls: https://amzn.to/43Qb5c3
But there is a secondary scoop option so it can shoot standard ping pong balls.

Here is the video that shows how easily this mechanism can be assembled:
