LEVELING ADJUSTMENT (2055 ONLY)
Robo-Pong 2055 is designed to sit level when attached to
the table. In proper position (Figure 13), the CT Support
Legs fit underneath the table and the CT Front Support
Plate sits on top of the table. If the robot does not sit level,
balls will not feed properly. If this condition occurs, it is
necessary to make some leveling adjustments. The first
adjustment is to level the table top by placing shims under
the table legs until the table top is level.
If this does not cause the robot to sit level, then it will be
necessary to make adjustments to the robot itself. The
Support Legs come with 3 sizes of Rubber Tips and 4 rubber
spacer-washers to accommodate different table top thick-
nesses, and cause the Center Trough to sit level. The Rubber
Tips are marked on their top with the table thickness they
are used with. The longest is used for
1
/
2
″
(13mm) tops. The
mid-size one is used on
3
/
4
″
(19mm) tops and comes pre-
installed. The shortest tip is used for 1
″
(25mm) tops.
In addition to these different sized tips, there are 4 rub-
ber spacer-washers which are used with the Rubber Tips
for finer adjustments. Either one or two of these spacer-
washers (depending on how much adjustment you need)
are placed inside the Rubber Tips before the tips are placed
on the end of the Support Legs.
Another reason why your robot may not sit level is that
it is not properly seated on the locating tab. When seated
correctly, the Support Flange of the Back Panel sits flush on
the Locating Tab that protrudes from the top of the Center
Trough or Ball Bucket (see Figure 14). Your robot serial num-
ber is located on top of this Support Flange.
TIP: If it is possible to adjust the level of the robot’s half of
the table independently from the player’s half, you may choose to
purposely give a slight slope to the robot’s half so balls that end
up on the table roll into the robot’s trays. If you make the table
unlevel, make sure the robot sits level by adjusting the Rubber
Tips as described above. In this case, it may be necessary to use
the Rubber Tip one size larger than normal and/or the rubber
spacer washers to level the robot.
ADJUSTING NET TENSION (2055 ONLY)
The Ball Return Trays should sit level at or just below the
level of your table top. If the tension of the Main Net is too
tight, the trays will be pulled up into a slight “V” shape
with the top edge of the trays above the level of the table
top. To correct this situation, loosen the adjustment straps
shown in Figure 15 until the trays sit level. If this adjust-
ment is insufficient, stretch the net by grabbing it with two
hands and pulling gently apart to relax the net fabric.
The Trap Net (the black net with large holes) slows
down your returns so more of them are captured. The size
of the holes is slightly smaller than the diameter of a ball.
Hard hit shots force the ball through the net and the ball
becomes trapped between the Trap Net and the Main Net.
When slowly hit balls contact the Trap Net, they do not
have enough force to go through the net, so they immedi-
ately drop down into the trays.
