We Built the World's Fastest Frisbee Launcher (Regulation Size)
We have been playing disc golf and ultimate frisbee for 15 years, but practice never worked for us. So we put our engineering brains on the problem, designed, and built this full blown disc launching robot. It took way longer than expected, but better late than never... I guess. We designed and built it to throw any flying disc at any angle or speed. Enjoy!

We have been playing disc golf for 15 years, but practice never worked for us. So we put our engineering brains on the problem, designed, and built this mini launching prototype. It is a beast... and was not easy to get over the finish line. We hope you enjoy. Next up is the real deal, a full blown disc slinging robot.

    I'm no expert with frisbees (or anything, really), but isn't it crucial for a long distance throw to give that frisbee a good spin? I mean, your machine obviously gives those frisbee lots of spins, but do the discs themselves spin sufficiently after launch? Maybe slap another BLDC motor on the holder (not sure if sliprings can handle those RPMs) and use that to spin the disc before launching it?

    Ok 1393 ft. So the distance normally dictates what would it be? We should standardize the unit of measurement of length in meters at least we can understand each other immediately

    I think the distance could be way more if your machine would give the disks spin so they rotate and through that glide better through the air 🤔

    3:20 Isn't centripetal force the one that pulls things towards the centre of rotation (i.e. "in")? The thing that pushes things OUT is momentum, sometimes termed centrifugal force. Centripetal force is "a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed towards the centre around which the body is moving." At least that's what they told me in my high school science classes.
