The extremely filigree detailistic internal plasticky CAD construction💅 doesn't make the Nova suitable for club use or professional use imho; the engineers didn't have "let's build and design to last" in mind rather than "let's build and design to just function".👩🔬 A fast internet connection (WiFi, WLAN or mobile internet) is required for the operation of the app and therefore of the robot: no internet, no use of the Pongbot!📶 In order to browse / check / edit / program a drill, you need to be physically near the powered robot🚽 AND have a live internet connection — not very convenient at all. The Nova S Pro cannot produce balls (cerves or non-cerves, doesn't matter) that are short AND have a significant amount of spin, e.g. it cannot produce short spinny cerves or short high quality pushes. Nor can it produce fast spinny topspins or actually slow spinny loops. Placing the Nova well back from the table can remedy this limitation to some extent. As long as it doesn't die on you, you woht think twice that you overpaid for a cheap, mass-produced toy-quality(!) robot because you definitely benefit from its functionality.
In summary, due to the 2-wheels system, the robot cannot produce slow balls with MUCH underspin (so-called high quality pushes). it cannot produce fast balls with MUCH topspin (so-called hard topspins). it cannot produce slow balls with MUCH topspin (so-called slow spinny loops). but it can produce fast balls with MUCH underspin (so-called balls to the moon). Other than that, the Nova S Pro performs flawlessly and to the reviewer's personal satisfaction. However, I will not recommend it until after eight years of regular operation (since 2024), by which time it will have proved its long-term value. I had opened the robot and what my engineering eye saw didn't instill me with much confidence. See the forum post for further review comments.
