Autonomous Launcher
The BallBOPPer's ball launching system let's you launch each ball with its own launch point, height, spin and landing spot, and it uses
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and microelectronic sensors to ensure full-court accuracy. The Player is not required to position or aim the BallBOPPer — the robot does this all by itself "autonomously".
Autonomous Rover
The BallBOPPer's Rover gives it the power to rove and navigate autonomously around the court. During the running of a "Pattern of Play", the BallBOPPer will rove and launch from different locations on the court according to the pattern design, providing a significantly more realistic simulation of your next opponent.
Autonomous Reloader
The BallBOPPer's ball Reloader attaches to the rear of the Rover, giving it the power to autonomously rove the court and reload the balls so that you can spend more time working on your skills, tactics and strategy in preparation for your next match.
BallBOPPer App with Voice Control
The BallBOPPer App runs on your iOS or Android smartphone or tablet (Android Beta in the Google Play Store), so that you can design your own custom "Patterns of Play", which can then be combined into a "Playlist" to create a full-length tennis training session. Works with any Bluetooth headset for voice control. The LED display provides feedback during play.
Unpredictability by Design
The BallBOPPer App not only provides the ability to create a pattern of shots: each with its own launch point, height, spin, and landing spot; but you can also design multiple "Alternatives" for each shot, and set the "Probability" of each shot. Allowing you to create a better simulation of your next opponent, to give you an advantage, and help you win.
Portable, Battery Powered, Easy to Use
The BallBOPPer is designed for daily use by tennis coaches and players on any standard tennis court. It is small enough to fit into a car trunk or backseat, has a "Ball Bucket" that makes it super easy to manually retrieve the balls, and has room for 4 powerful interchangeable batteries. With an additional set of batteries, you can have a virtually unlimited runtime.
