A new kind of Table Tennis Robot

[HowToLou]

I built this robot in my basement to automatically store my table in the ceiling. An 11-foot by 7-foot panel slides open, and the table lowers onto my pool table, all with the flick on a switch. Please let me know what you think of it. Thanks.

Thanks. I am an engineer and love to build things. I actually built the pool table, the two spectator chairs, and the little cabinet, in the middle, come to think of it

Definitely very cool design and execution.

One thing though, when you put a table tennis table on top of a pool table it is usually about 4-6 inches too high. I never measured, but I have played at bars that do that and the pool table is enough too high that playing was very strange. I guess, the pool table could be made to be lower.

So the question would be: if the pool table was made to be the right height so that when the table tennis table was on top of it, the table would be the right height for table tennis, would it be too low to play pool?

If you are used to it and the table you are playing table tennis on was 6 inches higher than the standard height, it would be a strange and hard transition going to a table that was a regular height as well.

Serving was very funny with the table 6 inches too high.
