This week we had some fun shooting stuff with our newly made ping pong gun. The gun is made out of PVC pipe,which happens to come in standard dimensions that have an ID perfect for passing ping pongs. A leaf blower provides the motive for shooting the ping pongs and a pair of pneumatic actuators creates the semi-automatic feeder. I put a webcam on the barrel as well as cross hairs so that we could eventually have a remotely opperated ping pong shooter.
