Cornhole Bag Launching Mechanism
The goal in this project is to design, build, and test a cornhole bag launching mechanism that will launch a 12-ounce cornhole bag over 15 feet onto a cornhole board. The mechanism may utilize either hand power or a motor and will incorporate a linkage system with the option of gears and cam-follower systems. The system performance will be assessed by both minimizing the design mass and the ability of the mechanism to score points by launching four bags on the board. Students will utilize materials and manufacturing capabilities from the Manufacturing Teaching Laboratory as well as premade components.
