Which Robot is Recommended?

what's your price range?

Price range.  Let's see, I hat to put a figure on it yet.  Just wondered what I get a differnet price points, ie., $500, $1000.  Thanks.

Well in my point of view, "an 13 year old kid with few opportunities to make money" although Varghese has given me some (*wink*). I prefer a more basic first robot. Mine was also the Newegy 2040 until I upgraded to a different robot. It's just the way I buy stuff I guess, I do that with everything else including computers. Just my way and I like it like that =)

Here's a list of some basic differences

Amount of spin it's capable of putting on the ball.
Maxim speed
Maxim ball load
Hangs on table type or on wheels with a stand
40m ball or 38m ball


700$ should feed you a decent robot. Although if you got the money you could go hit the 1 grand range and get a much more decent one that will serve you all the way till the long range like "swiffers" prefer to do it.

Once thing to think about is - can the robot control speed and spin independently of each other?  The Newgy 2040 is a good starter robot with all the basics, but can't change speed separately from spin (so the faster the ball, the greater the spin).  This limits the kind of drills you can do.
