Project Overview

A portable tennis training machine with controllable launch speed, angle, spin, automatic feeding, and premium random-target capability.

Engineering Context

The project applies mechatronics and motion systems to sports technology. The migrated archive includes 6 archived files (52.0 MB) that records the implementation and demonstration.

System Architecture

The system can be understood as an input and sensing layer, a control or processing layer, and an output, actuator, dashboard, or user-interface layer. The archived assets are retained in the organized knowledge base for future diagrams and deeper technical reconstruction.
