Robo-Pong Will Destroy You (At Ping Pong)

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 12 of June , 2008 at 12:15 am

Ping Pong. It’s a serious sport, believe it or not. Serious enough, apparently, to deserve a dedicated ping pong robot, replete with dramatic ads and cliches:

The Robo-Pong 2040 doesn’t actually play ping pong with you, but it can fire those deadly little balls at you all day long at speeds of up to 75 mph. It can replicate pushes, chops, serves, counters, smashes, lobs, fast loops, and more types of spin than you can whiff a paddle at.

The Robo-Pong 2040 will cost you about $700 without the table, but it does come with a package of Robo-Balls.
