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

@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.

Saw this on Tech Crunch today. Seems like an awesome product for any serious tennis players.

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 :)
