RoboTee

RoboTee is a robotic baseball tee commissioned to Presco Inc. by RoboSport. Its goal was to create a tee that does not create a sweet spot in a batters performance. Many professional baseball players use tees in practice, but having the ball at the same height every time provides a disadvantage -- they get used to hitting at that height. RoboTee dynamically adjusts its height after every ball is hit off. The range of heights is adjustable using an Android app that connects over Bluetooth LE.

For this project I both programmed an Android app to interact with the tee, as well as design several main components of the mechanical design. I also worked on the electrical side, finding the correct boards to run the stepper motor and communicate over bluetooth. The whole project was run off of an arduino.
