Skittles aid
A ramp was needed to enable people with learning disabilities to launch a skittles ball independently. Special rubber covered balls are used by the skittles team.
A ramp was constructed using pine batten, 6mm MDF and hardboard glued and screwed. Two fold-out arms that lock into place when hinged out prevent the ramp toppling sideways. The ramp is hence stable on rubber feet. A ball is placed on rails at the top of the ramp (a step prevents the ball rolling backwards) which can then be moved for aiming.
Members of the team can now play independently.
