I built the ball machine because I thought my dog Jerry, might like it and that it would be something fun for me to build. So after two years of on and off work, with many safety features such as IR proximity sensors to protect Jerry and my son from the machine, I finally complete.
Far from being a replacement for me, I was always right there with him enjoying his fun. And with all the troubles that I went through to build the ball machine, I still end up throwing more balls than that the machine could count! According to the computer, he played with the machine by himself only 3 times in his life.
I recently put this video on YouTube to keep alive my earlier memories of him and (hopefully) provide some “humorous distractions” for anyone that might drop by.
Please enjoy the video.

I love you Jerry. ?
Wow. Leave it to an engineer.
Jerry starts taking off at the sound of the pull-back, I notice. I think he'd have made an excellent skeet shooter.
Construí la máquina de bolas porque pensé que a mi perro Jerry podría gustarle y que sería algo divertido para mí construir. Entonces, después de dos años de trabajo dentro y fuera del trabajo, con muchas características de seguridad como sensores de proximidad IR para proteger a Jerry y a mi hijo de la máquina, finalmente lo completo. Lejos de ser un reemplazo para mí, siempre estuve allí con él disfrutando de su diversión. Y con todos los problemas que pasé para construir la máquina de bolas, ¡todavía termino lanzando más bolas de las que la máquina podía contar! Según la computadora, jugó solo con la máquina 3 veces en su vida. Recientemente publiqué este video en YouTube para mantener con vida mis recuerdos anteriores de él y (con suerte) proporcionar algunas "distracciones humorísticas" para cualquiera que pueda pasar por allí. Por favor disfruta el video.

Love it, my 18yr old Doxi went to doggie heaven, but the memories last furever…
Wish my dog could fetch
Rest in Peace Jerry such a cute and smart dog he reminds me of my deceased dog(miss her as well) too
Weird things that pop into my head five minutes ago: "Hey, I suddenly remember getting an email once years ago with an attachment video of this dog playing fetch with a robot, I wonder if it's still on youtube…"
…and now I'm here!

Hope this is not untasteful, but where could I buy one for my little brother Snickers?

You never have a dog long enough to repay the loyalty that they show you.

Do you take commissions and ship to the US?
Go Jerry. I too dont need help to play with my balls. Help is much appreciated tho.
