Why would I buy a Prakttismate robot instead of a comparable two-wheel robot that offers programmability?
Answer. The programmable robots that are priced about the same as PK1 are programmable only in the sense that the Oscillation or sweep feature can be programmed to cause balls to land on selected areas of the table in a programmed sequence. PK1 does not offer this because we will not sacrifice the quality of ball delivery by employing a non-oscillating head. A deflector is usually what is employed on the other robots mentioned, to provide ball movement for oscillation. This adds side spin to an intended no spin, for example, whenever the sweep is turned on. PK1 allows you to adjust sweep width and ball placement is random during oscillation. The head is made to oscillate rather than employing a deflector. PK1 is the only robot that recycles from any position along the table end. Think of the advantage this is, when for example, you want to receive side spin serves to your forehand from the corner of the table and the robot is still recycling. No other robot can do that. PK1 is the only
