Mobile device which simulates player motion |
摘要 |
A mobile device which simulates player motion, the device includes a ball drive, omni-directional members, at least one motor, a controller and pads. The ball drive provides rolling motion to the device. The omni-directional members are positioned proximate to and in engagement with the ball drive. The at least one motor is connected to the omni-directional members, the at least one motor providing the motive force to drive the omni-directional members and the ball drive. The controller controls the motor. The pads are positioned on the device. The device accurately mimics the unpredictable motion of a live player to provide a safe alternative to live play to increase player safety and decrease the incidence of injuries during practice sessions. |

1. A mobile device which simulates player motion, the device comprising:
a ball drive for providing rolling motion to the device, the ball drive being secured in a base of the mobile device by adjustable spring members which apply pressure to the ball drive; omni-directional members positioned proximate to and in engagement with the ball drive; at least one motor connected to at least one of the omni-directional members, the at least one motor providing the motive force to drive the at least one omni-directional member and the ball drive, the ball drive maintaining constant pressure on contact points between the ball drive and the at least one omni-directional member; a controller which controls the at least one motor; pads positioned on the device; wherein, the device accurately mimics the unpredictable motion of a live player to provide a safer alternative to live play to increase player safety and decrease the incidence of injuries during practice sessions. |
