Never underestimate the kids capability in taking up table tennis. They can quickly picking up the skills. That said, iPong expert robot is for beginners. The kids can over power the robot in very short period of time. If you really wanted to support them, why not get a better unit?
1. Y&T V989E
2. Y&T V989G
Y&T V989G can be used for advance players in fact. I know because I have it.
http://www.tenryu.com.my/store/robotsyes, thanks for the inputs....
currently noticed that, they have 4 tables.....
2 caters for Primary 5 & 6 where they practice playing among them selves with the trainer not fully at attention.
1 cater for the Primary 3 & 4, where they are also practicing playing among themselves beside the1 table that is catered for beginners, where the trainer need to be at the table to enable coaching of basic skills....
the trainer is the SOLO ball,...running and yelling here and there.....
just pity the trainer......and worst how to enhance the skill of the students when the trainer is not there full time MOST of the time.
was thinking of testing the robot to see how is the reliability and also helps the trainer cut down the time spend on beginners and semi experience players so that the trainer can spend more productive time with the seniors players.
was thinking of getting a return board to cut down the time the trainer spend practicing with the semi experience players.
any input on this?
btw, the Y&T V989G robot that you bought, how long do you have it? how many hrs (estimated) did you use it?
any reliability issue?
have to consider that a lot.....because once they had the habit of using the robot, life would never be the same without it....
thanks

wondering why the school did not buy it? they don't believe it? safety aspect issue with wiring laying on the floor with about 25 children running around? or???
