Bummer!
Here's Barry vs DonP, Homun vs Homi (or as I like to say, singular vs plural), Pat vs Sergio.

|
The "robot" is great fun.
Like a batting cage or a tennis ball server.
It serves, you return the ball, big net catches balls and drops them in the gutter, robot sucks them up again.
You can set how fast, how often, how much spin, where aimed, whether to alternate left/right, randomized, etc.
|
|
| 2018-07-20_01_RestockTheRobot.jpg |
|
Unless you return every single serve back into the big net, balls get spewed all over the floor.
Scoop up errant balls and dump them into the gutter manually.

|
It all started with a concept and a logo.
"Diplomacy Ping Pong" based on the "Ping Pong Diplomacy"
that improved US-China relations in 1971.
See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping-pong_diplomacy.
Set our differences aside and get to know each other better,
while playing ping pong.
