RoBOPPics recently became a Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub Partner, as RoBOPPics moves towards the release of the BallBOPPer Autonomous Tennis Training Robot on Kickstarter.

RoBOPPics also released the alpha version of the BallBOPPer Tennis Training App in the Google Play Store for players to try out. BallBOPPer Tennis Training App - Apps on Google Play

While you cannot do everything in the app without the robot, you are able to see how "Patterns of Play" are constructed and then sequenced into Playlists; you can create your own custom Patterns and Playlists; and you can publish your best Patterns and Playlists into the Community Catalog for other players to try.

If you have any questions about the app, you can create a Story in the Community section of the App and set the Focus to Support. Or you can send feedback directly to RoBOPPics at: info@roboppics.com.

The RoBOPPics site has been updated today with a picture of the latest prototype. This prototype will be the model for the manufacturing prototype for the Kickstarter launch. 

The picture above shows the removable ball bucket, the interchangeable battery system, and latest changes in the BallBOPPer drive, reloader and navigation configurations.

We are currently assembling the on-court demonstration videos and updating the docs with all of the latest changes.

The Android version of the BallBOPPer App is available for testing in the Google Play Store at: BallBOPPer Tennis Training App - Apps on Google Play  Below is the Feature graphic for the App.

Kickstarter launch is coming soon.

Latest version of the BallBOPPer autonomous tennis training robot is pictured above. Simplified ball reloader, redesigned rover drive system, enhanced battery system, larger front display, and upgraded sensors all around.

On-court testing of this new version is underway. If all goes well, demo videos and Kickstarter launch are not too far off.
