Ball Blasters
The project is a game aimed at children in the four-six age group. It measures 25cmx29cm. It is a ball shooter controlled by Arduino, made of milled beech wood (for the base), with a central body obtained by 3D printing. The game involves the competition between two or more children (and therefore of teams), who will have to catch the balls (made of 3 cm foam rubber) thrown and return them to their respective "baskets" (consisting of holes connected to sensors located at the base ). The team or the child with the most balls in their basket wins. The project aims to develop children's motor skills, keep them moving, improve their reflexes and teach the concept of healthy competition.
The name of the game is Ball Blasters.
