Build Suggestion: Automatic Dog Ball Thrower.

My dog Nahani loves to play ball toss. I get a sore back tossing the ball all the time and also when I am doing yard work she is always insisting to play ball. Please help.

Tired.

I found another that looks interesting but doesn't have the "smarts" like the counting and the remote etc. But that could be added I guess to this one. https://youtu.be/V9UOcUKazSA

This may be more like what I was thinking but it would have to be in a different form so the dog could drop the ball into the bucket easier and the working parts would be enclosed for protection from the elements and safety for the dog.

I'm not looking to send the ball more that 15- 20 meters anyways.

Nice find. That looks surprisingly effective given that the slingshot mechanism is being driven from a cordless drill motor. I think the tennis ball practice machines generally either use counter rotating wheels or compressed air to launch the balls.
