ABSTRACT:
A robot server device includes a ball container constructed to hold a plurality of table tennis balls and a robot server that is mounted within the container and designed to receive balls from the container. A trough assembly is mounted to the container and extends horizontally or laterally away from the container. The server assembly has a dual net assembly surrounding the robot to direct balls into the trough assembly and container in order to feed balls back to the robot. The net assembly contains a rear ball impervious net and a forward net designed to allow balls striking the forward net at a predetermined velocity to pass through the forward net, then strike the rear net and finally drop in the trough assembly. Balls striking the forward net with insufficient velocity to penetrate the forward net will also drop into the trough assembly. In another embodiment of the device, side wing nets extend from the rear net along each side of the table to a mid-point so as to prevent balls from leaving the side of the table.
