meet harrison and alex chen founders of trainer box they've invented a robot that spits out ping-pong balls the robot and the app used to control it on Kickstarter right now and this is me Jeff I like to think I'm pretty good at ping pong these guys and they're really good at ping pong so the trainer bot essentially lets you play solo it's pretty simple to use you mount it at the other end of a ping pong table and then load it up with about 30 balls you then activate trainer BOTS with an app that lets you customize nearly everything you can tell it what kind of serve you want the style Direction spin the location even the frequency between serves okay so enough talk let's try this out so here I am destroying this thing on Normal difficulty oh come on robot you're gonna have to do better than that okay now here is crazy mode which means only a crazy person will be able to keep up with the amount of insanity aha but I eventually became crazy enough to best the trainer bot that's right humans prevail so all-in-all trainer bot is actually pretty cool I love for there to be a way for the bot to auto load the balls you hit back to it some kind of net solution or something like that and the price is also a lot they're asking for around three hundred and thirty dollars as an early bird price on Kickstarter but the retail price is going to go up even more from there that's a lot to spend on a ping pong robot but if you're passionate enough about the sport it might be worth it to you it does seem to be a seemingly infinite number of ways to play with it so the replay value is definitely there
