Design Process

With the roller, Collect_B rolls through the bottom of the lakes and ponds retrieving golf balls and loading
to the upper container

To prevent accidents caused by the fish going through motors,

the device generates sound waves that they dislike

FOCUS AREA

BACKGROUND

Merlin is the next-generation unmanned aerial vehicle being developed by the company to house 200 kg
(70 kg of payload) cargo transport and reconnaissance capability, in addition to self-driving ability in preparation for the UAM advancement. Currently, the product is being developed for the initial flight by early 2024.

Increasing Golf Population

Golfers lose average of 2 to 3 balls per round which ends up to be approximate of 300 million golf balls every year, only in the United States

300 Million Golf Balls Getting Lost

Metals, zinc and micro plastics are being released when it biodegrades. Golf balls take from 100 to 1,000 years to decompose naturally

Golf balls causing water pollution

But not all of us are like Tiger Woods...:(

Paying divers over 75000$ per year

Currently, golf courses are paying over 75000$ per year for the divers to retrieve the golf balls.

Due to the high price, there is a huge portion of the golf courses who abandons the golf balls underwater

User Scenario

Details

Transparent lid for the user to check
the amount of golf balls inside Collect_B

  • Open / Close lid

  • Return-to-Base for charging

  • Light ON / OFF

  • 360 degree rotating main motors on each side

  • Rear motor for vertical direction

By using a custom built CMOS
(complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor,
Collect_B will detect the golf ball underwater

With the roller, Collect_B rolls through the bottom of
the lakes and ponds retrieving golf balls and loading
to the upper container
