Portable Fielding System

Abstract

The disclosed invention is drawn to a motorized fielding system capable of launching balls at a wide range of trajectories defined by its distance and orientation with respect to its yaw and pitch axes. This system comprises a chassis assembly; a motorized yaw mechanism comprising of a rotary table that can spin about a yaw axis; a motorized pitch mechanism comprising a launcher mounting plate that can be oriented along any one of a range of pitch angles, where the pitch mechanism further comprises a bottom side, a top side, and a plurality of attachment provisions to attach the pitch mechanism to the rotary table; a motorized ball launcher mechanism; a ball transport conduit; and a motorized ball feeder mechanism. The ball feeder mechanism, ball transport conduit, ball launcher mechanism, pitch mechanism, and yaw mechanism are arranged and physically coupled in a top-down order along a vertical stack.
