Table tennis robots are machines that throw the ball to you so you can hit it back. Using a robot is not usually as much fun as hitting balls thrown by a person, nor is it as good as a good practice partner. However, a robot is always willing to play!
Butterfly
The Butterfly Amicus 3000 Plus Robot is a computerized and programmable robot. It can switch from topspin to underspin in successive balls, as well as vary the spin. It also has two wheels in the head which lets it produce some types of balls that other robots cannot produce. It isn’t as portable as the Newgy robots.
Ball Retrievers
A ball retriever lets you pick up stray balls without bending down. There are two types: one type is a long plastic tube and the other looks like a fishing net. The latter, although it seems more suited to a fishing expedition, actually works quite well.
