4.1 ESTABLISHING FUNCTIONS

Functions from User Perspective	Functions from designer perspective
Easy Operation: Simple controls for convenient use	Motorized Launching: Uses a DC motor-driven mechanism to launch the shuttlecock.
Shuttle Launching: Launches shuttlecocks for badminton practice.	Speed Regulation: Controls motor speed to provide different launch speeds.
Speed Selection: Allows different launching speeds.	Angle Adjustment Mechanism: Provides an arrangement for changing the launch angle
Angle Adjustment: Allows the launching direction to be changed.	Trajectory Control: Enables the shuttlecock to be launched along different trajectories.
Launch Interval: Provides a suitable gap between successive launches.	Timing Control: Provides controlled intervals between successive launches.
Easy Loading: Allows shuttlecocks to be loaded conveniently.	Shuttle Feeding: Guides the shuttlecock from the storage area to the launching mechanism.
Portability: Easy to move from one place to another.	Single-Shuttle Release: Releases one shuttlecock at a time.
Stable Performance: Operates steadily during practice.	Storage Mechanism: Provides an arrangement for holding multiple shuttlecocks.
-	Manual Loading System: Provides convenient access for loading shuttlecocks.
-	Start/Stop Control: Provides a switch or button to control machine operation
-	Power Management: Supplies the required electrical power to the motor and control system.
-	Frame Structure: Supports and connects all the major components.
-	Base Stability: Provides sufficient stability to prevent unwanted movement during operation.
-	Compact Arrangement: Organizes components within a compact overall structure.
-	Portable Construction: Uses suitable lightweight materials to make the machine easy to carry
-	Distance Control: Enables variation in launching distance through speed and angle adjustment.
