Frisbee

Initially, we planned to build a mechanical clock powered by gears. However, after exploring the design details, materials, and complexity involved, we decided to shift our focus towards a new and exciting project: an electric frisbee launcher.

During today's session, we created detailed plans for our electric frisbee launcher, deciding to use a single motor for simplicity and efficiency. We also began documenting our project on Hackaday. The launcher will operate using a single motor-driven wheel that spins rapidly, transferring kinetic energy to the frisbee and launching it accurately and consistently.

Today, we made progress on our exciting project of creating a mechanical clock with gears. We started by exploring the details of our project, using Fusion 360 to visualize and design the gears. We also created cardboard models to better understand the structure and operation of our clock.

Next, we thought about the materials to use, deciding to opt for wood due to its durability and aesthetic appeal. We discussed the number of gears needed and the number of teeth for each gear to ensure smooth and precise operation. 

We made a sketch and a maquette with cardboard to visualize our project
