Oukei/AMDT TW2700-08 Robot Review

The Oukei/AMDT TW2700-08 table tennis robot is an advanced 2 wheel Programmable robot. With its feature rich control pad, it is the current top of the line robot of several from Oukei.

The TW2700-08 robot offers a much more advanced Control Pad over past versions.
With the addition of several ball landing controls, various ways of selecting amount of balls in a sequence (either by the minute or by amount of balls), random, mixed, and various programmable functions, this robot has one of the more complex and in depth controllers I have used so far. Having so many functions and controls with such an electronic device, Oukei has managed to keep it fairly easy to figure out the control pad without looking at the manual. Although when you start using the programming functions of the Control Pad, you might need the manual to walk you through the steps of operation. Luckily the instruction manual is written in English and Chinese. The instruction manual is the best one I have seen so far with robots.

The top and bottom wheels are controlled by circular variable dial knobs. One dial is for the top throwing wheel, the other is for the bottom throwing wheel. On average I had the top wheel set about 6 for good amount of top spin and speed. The bottom wheel setting I used varied from 0 to 5 or 6 with different shot setups. So with those setting numbers, the wheels provide more than enough speed and spin. Above the wheel control dials, is the “ball frequency” or balls per minute setting dial. The ball per min control on this robot is very good. You can make the amount of balls per min very slow for beginners or certain type shots, or you can speed it way up to multi-ball style hitting. The numerical readout at the top left on the pad, are the settings for amount of balls per sequence. The nice added feature here is the ability to set the amount of balls in either per minute, or per each ball.The only other adjustment on the robot is the throwing head rotation angle setting. The rotation of spin angle is changed manually buy the overly large metal “palm screw” on the back of the robot head. The rotation angle of the head is from 0 to 45 degrees. Although you can actually go just past 45 degrees on each left and right side of this adjustment, you can not set the rotation of the head to 90 degrees. Side spins can be set by certain off sets of top and bottom wheel speeds, but I prefer being able to adjust the 2 throwing wheels at 90 degrees for true side spin at any interval of the bottom or top throwing wheel speeds. The throwing wheels are large foam type elements. The robot comes with an extra set, which is an added bonus.The Catch Net is fairly close to the same design as the Y&T robots, but with slightly less “bounce back” from the area around the throwing head section. However, the side nets cover just slightly less area from mid table to the net because of their unique design not yet found on most robots. The sides nets are attached to the table buy the net without any extra clamping devices.
