Problem Statement

1
Problem Statement

• Wasted time and effort in retrieving pucks after
  shooting them into the hockey net.
• Other sports like basketball have retrieval
  systems to help aid in the practice of the sport.
• Solution a four component system that will
  return a hockey puck back to the user after a
  shot.

2
Problem Statement

• Deliver the puck to the user safely and should
  not jam in the delivery system
• Able to withstand the impact of a high speed slap
  shot.
• Must fit inside of a
• standard hockey goal.

3
Goals

• Efficient in returning pucks back to the user
• Affordable and safe
• Robust and durable

4
Design Partition

• Four subsections
• Puck collector
• Bumper
• Activation
• Return Mechanism

5
Puck Collector

• The purpose of the puck collector is to bring the
  puck to a central location inside the goal for
  easier return.
• The device must consistently bring each puck to
  the same location with each operation.

6
Bumper

• The purpose of the bumper is to slow down floor
  shots and to guide them into the collector.
• It could be an inclined ramp shape to send the
  puck up and into the back of the net.

7
Activation

• The activation device must trigger the return
  mechanism shortly after the puck enters the goal.
  
• It could be remotely activated or could use
  automatic operation.

8
Return Mechanism

• The return mechanism must consistently return the
  puck to roughly the same location on the ice.
• It will require quick acceleration in order to
  produce enough force to move the puck far enough
  away from the goal.
• After returning the puck, it needs to be able to
  reset to prepare for the next puck.
