Project 1, Concept 3

Air Ball



This game works on the concept of action/reaction as well as projectile motion. The user pushes a button, and as a reaction, a ball jumps out of a compartment heading towards target/basket. The arm that attaches the basket to the main base is adjustable, so once one length is mastered, the user can try other lengths. The hole the ball shoots out of has an adjustable ramp so the angle of the projectile can change, affecting where the ball will land.


The toy is made completely out of plastic, and is not meant for kids under the age of 5. The plastic ball is about the size of a ping pong ball, but a little bit heavier. The pieces should not detach unless severly beat upon.
