High School Project - Mini Airhockey Table with Robotic Arm

AI Thread Summary
A high school engineering project featuring a Mini Airhockey table with a Robotic Defender has been shared, showcasing a well-executed design. The project includes a detailed guide on Instructables, highlighting the complexity of implementing servo error feedback to convert vector red-shift into target positioning. The project demonstrates significant technical skill and effort in both the design and execution phases.

Thanks for allowing the post.
 
Great efforts on the sketch-it build. The servo error feedback must have been a significant challenge just to convert vector red-shift to target position.
 
Some time ago I posted this Raspberry PI DIY Mass Spec using Raman Scattering. It's was something of a cumbersome project though, needing a 3D printer and special heat-resistant plastic giving of carcinogenic fumes during printing. To be blunt it was also not very mobile and interpreting the results was further cumbersome Recently though, I've been told that Arduino, and it's various sensor packages, has matured to the point where it's a usable alternative. Now I realize that a cigarette...
Thread 'Nonlinear rubberband type thing - "k" dropping fast as it is stretched'
What materials can I try in order to get a curve of displacement versus force that looks somewhat like this.. (of course, there would be a small kink around the origin where the ends of the rubberband are closer together than its length, which is not shown here). I am looking for something that will last at least 100 stretch cycles and is not messy, so for example liquid based colloidal stuff won't be suitable. Is there something one can whip up using silicone and some additive, say? Or...
