Well, look at this one:

As, in real matches, you watch the hand of your opponent to check what spin they make and as tabletennisrobots should come as close to real opponents as possible, I guess, it would be best, when the signals are near the slot where the balls are thrown out = on the robot itself.

Idea Hi TyuTyu - problem, when balls with different spins in one sequence: One cannot see what spin they have, there's no "human hand" showing it. Possible solution, comes from one of my TT-buddys: Add a signalpanel, that indicates the spin. See picture below (click to make it bigger).

. Köszönöm a hirt. Nagyszerü gépet alkotott. Igy tovàbb!

. Thanks. New version of the whole robot? That's new for me. We'll see... And, let's hope the Amicus Pro will work with the forthcoming new balls, too.

. Well it just was a bad translation from the original english manual into cryptic german. In the english manual it's explained well and in detail. Means: I haven't done it yet myself and do not yet exactly know how to do it. It's just a rumour that there will be a new panel - I cannot add...

I talked to the german Butterfly-crew lately (had a question about how to oil the head of the Amicus Pro, something that must be done halfyearly), they told me that maybe a new console will follow end of 2012. Basically, the actual console for the Amicus Pro is just a refined model of the the...

Yes and no. The Amicus Pro is superior in being able to simulate real-life-balls. As there are three motors and "rolls" involved (which scuff by using the machine), absolute consistency is not given. But, are human beings consistent when playing table tennis? They aren't, so the...

Hm. My two cents: If you take table tennis seriously and if you want to progress, then what a robot should deliver is: balls, that behave like real balls in a real match. That's the single most important feature. The newgy 2050 does not deliver that (tried the newgy, too, my dealer has this...

Strange, yes. Here it is, check the pic. Would ask the dealer. Maybe there are earlier models without this feature.

You can set 5 parameters (forgot one): how fast the balls fly, how much top-/backspin, sidespin, "trajectory" (how high the balls fly > this I meant with "height"), and "Ball/min". Difficult to set is the sidespin, because several motors are involved here. Deadballs/balls with absolutely no...

Here. Yes. The length of my playing is only limited by the fact, that lots of balls fall to the ground - and that's not the problem of the robot. Beside this: The net is mounted and dismounted fast, heard saying, that's not the case with the 3000+ (not sure here).

E.g. Amicus Pro has 3 motors, yes, I think it's the worldwide first robot that has this feature. Means: it can produce any imaginable spin without manually changing the head of the robot. But: the settings of the shots are not programmable, you can only program the positions of the balls, from...

Me I own it. What do you want to know?
