Introduction
The ping pong shooter attachment lets your Rover launch ping pong balls using a spring-loaded mechanism powered by a continuous servo motor. It clips onto the front of the Rover via the bolt clip adapter. The wings must be printed using PETG so they are flexible enough to shoot the balls. This guide will walk you through printing and assembling the attachment step by step.
