Abstract
Air hockey is a game where two players play against each other on a low-friction table.
The game requires an air-hockey table, two player-held strikers, and a puck.
The main goal of this project is to increase the level of excitement of the game by
switching one of the players with a robot.
To build the project, we need some components and strategies. First of all, we need to
build an air hockey table. Two motors with horizontal pipes that would move the robotic
hand pusher in four directions are also needed. A camera would be placed on one side
that controls the movements of the robot.
The steps needed to build the project are as follows. First of all, we need to build the air
hockey table, then we need to attach the table with two motors with horizontal pipes
which will be used mainly to help the movement of the striker in vertical and horizontal
directions. After all that we will use image processing to make the calculations needed
for the striker position.
An option to manually control the robot using a mobile phone will be implemented to add
enthusiasm to the game.
