Nomenclature
To assist in clearly communicating the various features of your robot, it is necessary to define how we
refer to certain elements. Here are various terms used throughout this manual:
Ball Type — 4 controls affect Ball Type: Spin, Speed, Sidespin, and Trajectory.
Ball Placement — the left/right location where a ball lands, determined by the Place control.
Basic Ball — the ball thrown when the original Default game exercise is selected.
Current Ball — the ball that is currently selected as indicated by an orange circle.
Ball 1–10 — refers to the Ball Indicators (white circles) located along the right side of the table diagram.
The ball furthest left is Ball 1, and each successive ball to the right would be named Ball 2, Ball 3, etc..
Exercise — a series of between 1 and 10 balls. Also called drill, program, or rally.
Sequence — 2 or more exercises linked together, usually as a training routine, previously called Cluster.
1–4 Rings — how the head height adjustment is described. E.g., 3 rings would mean the head height is
adjusted so 3 rings (painted on the Ball Tube) are visible (see Photo 8).
Adjustment Of Head Height
On most table tennis robots, head height cannot be adjusted. In contrast, Amicus robots offer 4 different
heights to better simulate realistic play. It is quite easy to adjust the head height. From behind the net,
push the top of the net down to reach over it. Grab the curved ball tube with one hand and loosen the large
Black Knob with the other hand (see Photo 8). Pull the tube up or push it down to adjust head height. Lock
it in place by tightening the Black Knob just enough to hold the head in place.
