It would have been nice in their forum if someone could have suggested ways to achieve this.

How do you mean ? I mean, You're a newbie so i'll humour this .
But granted that a lot of people didn't respond but those that did did try to help , so.. what did you mean exactly ?
If however you meant that someone should have told you how to do it completely... NO, that's not the way it works.

Mate we derive pleasure from electronics, a large part of that is learning how to do stuff ourselves , therefore i we just said
do this and that and that and this and solder this to that and use this code. You would literally have nothing to do .
We would feel that we deprived you of the pleasure of learning, which is also... the entire point of why i pushed you into the arduino and
ESP32 direction.

so. You are expected to pull your part of the weight as well, (and you did )
Now, you do have an option to ask us to do it all for you, but that would require payment , and that would give you the right to not
care how it's done and to have us just build it for you.

However most people here want to do it for free and to learn, I made the assumption that that's what you were after
so, I'm confused, did you mean that you wanted to be told how to do it all upfront or did you mean you didn't get any support ?

or.. Did you mean that you wanted me to explain how that commentary DF Robot thing works I didn't really understand your comment properly.

so i guess the question is...
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED SO FAR
AND WHAT DO YOU WANT EXPLAINED

Maclarkson:
Ok so I ;D 8)have now bought a second hand 3d printer to make the housing. Infact I’ll just print the whole thing from scratch!! And the journey continues. I used a microphone by the way. Works well but not for kids who can’t hit the ball hard enough to get it to make a loud enough sound. Oh well I guess they will just have to do it the old fashioned way.

Doctorandus_P:
One way to automate it, is to remove the "wooden peg", and/or integrate it in the arm. The Idea is that the weight of the ball keeps the dispensing arm folded out, and as soon as the ball has been removed, it will fetch the next ball.

A disadvantage is that the system is vulnerable. The gulf club is likely to hit the arm occasionally and destroy it. This can be mitigated by making the arm easily replaceable and having some spares, or by building the whole thing on some sort of plateau, with the result that the arm sinks "below ground level".
