Step 5Connect your holes to your external keyboard
In this step, we'll direct balls falling through the holes to keys on the keyboard. You'll want to start by inserting your keyboard. Then, we use the 1-Liter plastcic bottles to guide the tennis balls to a key and then launch them to the side.
We mate the bottom part of the bottles with the now-bottomless cups. To mate the bottles with the keyboard keys, a pushpin in the lid and some tape do the trick.
One way that I tested my connections between the holes and the keys was to type into a text editor. I used a very large font, rolled balls into cups and checked to find out how often the ball would strike the intended key.
You could use the text editor as a way to keep a tally of your rolls, but the next step might be more fun for you.
