Shuttlecocks are a common source of entertainment and sport, although the physics behind these shuttlecocks is often taken for granted. Shuttlecock operates under two main physical concepts, projectile motion and mass distribution. As shuttlecock throwing is a major sport in Vietnam, so we developed a robot for the same. This paper consists of Design, Manufacturing and Analysis of Shuttlecock Throwing Robot for various elevation, angle and range. It consists of design and fabrication of Chassis, Shuttlecock Throwing Mechanism, Shuttlecock passing mechanism and PCB circuit board. Also various results and data is concluded after testing the robot.

Keywords: Shuttlecock, PCB, Chassis, Projectile.
