Well after about 12 or so total working hours, my project is finally complete!! This is a project for my MSE101 (Engineering) class at school, every group has to make a laser guided golf putter. How it works and the design is up to the groups and I came up with this design. The tourney in which all the groups will compete against each other will be next saturday, as for now here are the pics:

is the laser visible?
if you took a picture in the dark, would you see a red beam?

(also, yeah, I'm an itchy poster... :))

the switch is a 3 way switch, middle position is off. If you flick it up, the laser will rotate up, flick it down, laser rotates down.

Does it work? I mean does it actually help you see the line better?

Of course it works!! Everything I make always works... well, except nija... umm ugh I mean no... umm :puke:


but yeah, it works but it is hard to set it up in the correct angle/height in the beginning.

whoa... simply brilliant!!! Why didn't I think of that...

:thumbup: for bright idea, you should be an engineer one day, the world needs people like you.

How much does it weigh? Isn't that gonna upset the balance of the putter?

Doesnt' weight much, but you do notice the weight imbalance of the putter. But heck, who cares about balance when you got a frickin laser guided putter? :D
