From the workshop
The frame sets up in the corner of a room, catching shots on a cloth ramp that feeds balls right back to the shooter. Above the rim, an electronic board tallies points under small lights. On the reverse side, hanging fabric targets wait for sticky balls and hook darts.
Electronic scoring backboard
Small lights sit over the backboard while a digital screen tracks every basket made. The electronics count up during fast shooting rounds and keep track of who is leading without anyone arguing over the total.
Telescoping frame pillars
Pillars along the sides raise or lower the hoop assembly to match whoever is playing. When taller shooters step up, slide the poles higher so shots have room to arc before dropping through the net.
Reversible target cloth
The backside of the frame holds fabric panels printed with scoring rings. Kids toss sticky balls and blunt darts that grab the cloth on contact, turning the rear of the cabinet into a separate throwing target.
Underneath gear storage
A wide fabric bin sits low between the legs beneath the return ramp. Spare basketballs, extra darts, and small stuffed toys collect inside the base instead of scattering across the playroom rug.
