NEWGY TABLE TENNIS ROBOT SYSTEM
QUICK SET-UP FOR ROBO-PONG 545
The Newgy Table Tennis Robot System includes Robo-
Pong models 545, 1040+, and 2040+. Upgrade kits are
incorporated into the system to enable a customer to retain
their investment in their robot and to add features and
capabilities as needed. These upgrades consist of the Robo-
Pong 545 Upgrade Kit to convert a 545 into a 1040+ and the
Recycling Net Upgrade Kit to transform a 1040+ into a
2040+.
Robo-Pong robots require no assembly or tools. They
are pre-assembled and factory tested before being packed
and shipped. They only require a brief set-up before
they’re ready for play! The following quick set-up steps
will assist you in properly setting up your robot.
If you purchased a 2040+, a video is included that also
explains set-up and operation. Additionally, the video
includes some simple table tennis techniques for returning
the different spins your robot can deliver (also see page 8).
Please view the video first if you have a video player.
For maximum enjoyment of and benefit from your
Robo-Pong, it's best to follow the simple set-up steps as
outlined below or as shown in the video. Later chapters of

VERIFY ALL PARTS
Unpack all the parts and check that all parts
are present. If unable to identify a part, look
for a small silver label with the name of the

styrofoam pieces in case you ever need to ship your robot.

You may also include used balls with worn surfaces. All
balls must be 40mm.
