High School Project - Mini Airhockey Table with Robotic Arm

In summary, the robotic arm in the mini airhockey table is controlled by a microcontroller and sensors that detect the position of the puck. The materials needed to build this project include a microcontroller, sensors, motors, a wooden board, a power source, and various tools. The time to build it can vary from a few hours to a few days, and it can be controlled remotely using a wireless communication module. However, safety concerns must be considered when working with the robotic arm, such as proper wiring and avoiding injuries from the moving parts.

Great efforts on the sketch-it build. The servo error feedback must have been a significant challenge just to convert vector red-shift to target position.
