Boomer, The Tennis Playing RobotStumble This

Boomer is not your average tennis ball machine. Boomer is the first tennis ball machine you actually play against. By using a computer and camera, the robot can play and interact to give a player the feel of a real opponent. He even acts as a ball boy when it is your turn to serve by tossing 1 or 2 balls and directs you to which court to serve from.

Boomer can serve, return, play out a point, call the lines and the score, rate the quality of your shots – even talk trash – and can do it any level of ability, from rank beginner to world champion.

Price:$14450 or rent your new tennis friend for $600 a month
