Team Fuzzy Balls4 Problem Statement When a can of pressurized tennis balls is opened they begin to loose pressure after approximately 3 hrs of play Through non-pressurized storage the tennis balls will continue to loose internal pressure This loss of pressure greatly affects the performance of the tennis balls.
5
Team Fuzzy Balls5 Problem Statement Cont. Tennis coaches and avid players use a high volume of tennis balls on a daily basis. The cost to replace the balls due to pressure loss is a financial burden.

Team Fuzzy Balls6 Product Description and Functional Requirements A pressurized storage system used to maintain/replenish tennis balls to increase longevity and performance. Functional requirements/desires 1. SAFETY 2. Hold a pressure of 14 psi 3. Maximize capacity (minimum 150) 4. Easy to use 5. Does not hinder regular routine of user

Team Fuzzy Balls20 Design Problems Container Experienced Bulging Due to an inadequate container thickness and non-ideal box material Buckles would fail due to lid bending Replaced Air Compressor Air Compressor was inadequate because of 2- stroke design which could allow air to leak from container
21
Team Fuzzy Balls21 Solution to Design Problems Straps were placed to redistribute the forces that caused bulging Replace buckles with clamps An airbrush compressor replaced original tire compressor
