I was talking to one of my friends the other day and she was telling me about this torch she has. She said it was fueled with denatured alcohol and you just squeeze the bottle to make it work. I googled the torch later in the week and watched a YouTube video of one […]
I was able to find time this week to perfect my ping pong launcher a bit more. I updated the launching wheel, motor mount, I built a ‘ball limiter’, and I found a hopper to use. It’s still needs more work, but it’s a start. The old motor mount was big and bulky. Although […]
