As the team worked through the design process and iterated prototypes, the application of the project pivoted to focus on modeling a golf club impacting a golf ball.
Figure 5. Golf Ball Impact
As seen in Figure 5 above, the impact from the golf club does not impart any spin on the golf ball. The design team re-scoped the project to remove the requirement to impart spin onto the ball. Furthermore, the team restricted the mass of the model golf ball as a ping pong ball in order to reduce the scale of the mechanism and motors utilized.
