Thanks for the suggestion Splasher! I was going to try...

Hello,
With the prospect of being at home for a while, I just started considering the idea of buying a TT robot. I have the luxury of owning an outdoor TT table, but I only use it very sporadically - in the summer when the British weather allows, when previous days have been reasonably dry and my garden soil is not quicksand, and when I’m not too busy with work.
Perhaps the table could make an early appearance this year, I could play with my son and my wife... and perhaps buy a robot for my own enjoyment.
My coach sometimes trains me with his butterfly robot, and I enjoy that, but it’s an expensive piece of kit. I know the robot will have a scarse use and I cannot justify that expense. I would also store it in a humid shed so I would not want to buy something expensive that would eventually rust and break.
Looking at eBay I noticed some dual motor, cheap enough robots (like this HP-07 thing) and I’m wondering if these are total rubbish, you-get-what-you-paid-for type of thing, or if they are good enough for some solo training.
Anyone who has experience with robots that are below the £300 mark, please let me know what you think. I’m highly suspicious.
Thanks and keep great care of yourself!
