Tennibot - Roomba for picking up your tennis balls

@rmagrino You just put a bunch of 14 year olds out of a job.

@rmagrino Thats actually a question we get a lot, and that is basically our next step, but for now we are focused on tennis. So keep and eye out for that ⛳

@rmagrino @joshuapinter It is actually not meant to replace ballboys/girls. It is for players like us who don’t have the option to begin with 😢 It is not as fast/responsive as them. Plus, lots of amazing players like Federer started as ball boys.

@rmagrino @hythmatica We're talking about *golfing* driving ranges that are great summer jobs for teenagers. They drive their grass cutting machines out on to the pitch to pick up all the balls. Because they make a perfect moving target, everybody does their best to riddle them with golf balls. Great use case for a robot golf-ball-picker-upper.

@benmlevy Very true Ben, when we went to buy something that “Works” we couldn’t find one either, so we decided to build it :)

@t_hen Exactly Tim, we share your pain, thats why we are working really hard on this 😊

@scotty_bowler Thanks Scott, that’s a good point, some people didn’t know Roomba when I talked with them

@jm1234567890 hey @john you can check out our latest video in action here: tennibot.com. It can pick up to 40 balls per minute. However, the main value proposition is that it pick up balls while you are playing or hydrating rather than doing it yourself.

@vladkorobov We have actually gotten that suggestion before 😊, for now we are focusing on tennis 😉
