A larger scale version that could cover multiple terrain features would be great for golf driving ranges.

@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.

Where’s a video of it in action? Is it really much faster than everyone using multiple cages to pick up balls?

@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.

As a former tennis player, I really like what you guys are doing! I've used a bunch of different contraptions to pick up tennis balls, but nothing has truly solved the issue

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