5 years ago, in 2016, my wife and I adopted our first Puppy, Piper. Piper is now all grown up and many things about her have changed, but one of the things that she has loved to do since she was a baby, was to play fetch with her favorite ball. Whether it's raining or snowing, 105 degrees or -10 outside, the moment I let Piper outside to go potty, you can bet she'll grab her favorite ball and come drop it at my feet.

This project was an attempt at prolonging our fetch-playing sessions by making a ball launcher to do the throwing for me! There are already solutions to this problem, but I wouldn’t be able to respect myself unless I tried to build my own over-engineered version, so here it is!

Enjoy!
