(Step 3) Plug the Scoreboard into a power outlet.
(Step 4) Connect the Scoreboard to the Control Box
with the provided cable. Attach Control Box to table.
(Step 5) Connect the safety cord from the back of the
Scoreboard to the net post of your table.
(Step 6) Before turning the Scoreboard on, set your
robot to the type of shot you wish to practice (see your robot
Owner’s Manual), then turn the Control Box “off.”
(Step 7) Turn the Scoreboard “on.”
(Step 8) Set the number of minutes for your game.
(Step 9) Select either a 21 or an 11 point game.
(Step 10) Turn the Control Box “on”.
(Step 11) Pick up your paddle and press the “Start”
button. You'll have approximately 3 seconds to get ready
before the game starts. Just before the robot starts
delivering balls, Pong-Master will sound a warning “beep”.
You're now playing Pong-Master! See if you can beat the
robot by scoring 21 points (or 11 points if selected) before
the robot does.
(Step 12) To start a new game with the same settings,
press the “start” button. To change the Scoreboard settings,
press “reset”, change the settings, then press “start”.
PLAYING THE GAME
You score points by making your shots strike the
sensors. Every strike will award you 1 to 3 points, which is
reflected by the player's score on the Scoreboard. The robot
scores points based on the amount of time it takes to play
the game (see Chart A, next page). If you score 21 points first,
you win and Pong-Master will play you a victory song! If
the robot wins, it plays an antagonistic ditty!
Just like in an actual game, you must win by 2 points. If
the score becomes tied at 20–20, the game will continue
until either the robot or player is 2 points ahead, even if the
time on the game clock has expired.
