Exposing the basics

BallPicker is 4 feet wide, 4.5 feet long, and about 1.5 feet high. This 65kg golf ball collecting robot is a specialized golf ball collecting unit powered by two wheels, powered by a rechargeable nickel cadmium battery. The BallPicker can collect between 10,000 and 12,000 golf balls a day!

If you are a serious golfer, you know how exciting it is to target the ball collector, a ritual that most golfers have adopted. Well, BallPicker travels at a maximum speed of 3.6 km per hour, which is a little over 2 miles per hour. It’s a good target for players with a handicap of 10-20. Don’t expect him to go crazy when you score, he’s a robot! Now for the good news! Good news for beginners, the BallPicker slows down to 0.6 miles per hour when approaching obstacles to avoid a high-speed impact, making it an easier target. It also explains why you’ve probably never heard of an accident involving a robot ball boy to date!

How does it work?

BallPicker is started by hand and runs randomly within a perimeter limited by wire to prevent you from driving into town without parental approval. The electric ball catcher literally does not produce any sound or emissions, so it does not disturb the player in the game.

The balls are delicately retrieved by polyethylene discs that rotate under the ball catcher and are stored in a 400-ball capacity bin. Once the BallPicker has completed harvesting, it returns to its station and releases the merchandise through a port attached to the warehouse and launches back to work.

Why would anyone want a golf ball collecting robot?

BallPicker is certainly better for the back, performs quite well under pressure and makes a good harvest a day. BallPicker works 24/7 and never stops to complain. This quiet and eco-friendly robot can run while customers are around without being too intrusive.

An optional golf ball lift makes it easy for the ball collector to drop the collected balls which are then lifted to the ball cleaning facility.
