Overview • Problem • Solution • Goals • Design • Analysis • Feasibility • Issues • Resources • Questions?
Problem Most practice greens are unrealistic or difficult to use Thisis an actual green: This is a practice green: Wewanttobridge the gap.
Solution • A realistic and simple computer controlled putting green with adjustable contours
Goals • Realistic • Automatically adjusts contours • Computer controlled • Simple to use • Walk on entire surface • Competitively priced Not like this… Like This!
Design (Cont.) • Mechanical Movement System • Linear Actuators • Stepper Motors • Surface Support Structure • Bar in bar method • Sheet material • Surface Material • Cross stitching • Row stitching
Design (Cont.) • Electrical • Computer • User Interface • Statistics Tracking
Design (Cont.) • Frame Structure • Modules • Metal frame • Wood paneling • Ball Return
Analysis • Linear actuator force calculations • Surface support structure stiffness calculations • Frame structure beam calculations • Financial estimate: $12000-$15000
Feasibility Sample Survey Results • Market Research • Competition • Survey Where would you place an indoor putting green?
Feasibility • System • Linear actuators • Surface material • Surface support structure • Frame • Electrical/Computer
Issues • Cost of actuators • 3D preview of contour on screen • Seaming of donated surface material for prototype • Electrical work
