with a FH instead of a BH, tapping the Mirror button would be the
quickest way to create an Exercise with the desired placements.
The Reset Head Button causes the Head to go through its orienta-
tion procedure. Use this as your first troubleshooting step if there
is an irregularity in the way balls are thrown out. For instance, the
Exercise top view diagram indicates a ball should be delivered to
the right corner, but instead, it is delivered to the center, thrown
into the table net, or popped up high.
Pressing the Video Button (see Photo 17) will show the Exercise
being demonstrated by a live player so the user can see someone
doing the drill properly to understand what strokes and footwork
are to be used for each Ball in the Exercise. The Video Button will
only show if a video demonstration is available for the selected
exercise.
Pressing this button opens a full screen video of the Exercise in
landscape orientation. The video begins playing automatically
and loops over and over so you can study the demonstrator's
movements and strokes. After watching the video, exit the video
by touching the Return icon ( ) at the bottom. This will return you
back to the Play Exercise Screen.
The Ball/min slider is used to control the frequency, or rate, of de-
livery. Default is 40 Balls Per Minute (BPM), which is a good starting
rate. This control ranges from 5 to 120 BPM. 60 is the average
topspin counter rate. 30 – 45 is often used for beginner/novice
training. Lower settings can be used for serve return, 3rd ball
attack, & other specialized drills. This control can be changed either
with ball delivery stopped or while balls are being thrown.
Touch the Start Exercise Button to begin playing the Exercise at
the rate shown on the Ball/min slider. The app changes screens and
a red Stop Exercise Button appears (see Photo 18). After a momen-
tary delay, balls begin to be thrown in the order shown in the top
view diagram (unless Place RND is turned on). When the last Ball of an Exercise is thrown, the Exercise
repeats automatically. To stop ball delivery, touch the Stop Exercise Button. Once touched, the screen
changes back and the black Start Exercise Button appears.

Changing Settings During Play

An advantage of the Amicus design is that it is possible to change some settings for all Balls in an
Exercise at one time. To do so, the robot must be delivering balls and the red Stop Exercise Button must
be visible (see Figure 18). Without stopping play, tap the + or – symbols to adjust the Trajectory or Speed
for all balls in a drill.
To better understand this function, let's say that Ball 1 has a Trajectory of 10 and a Speed of 10 and Ball
2 has a Trajectory of -20 and a Speed of 20. If you tap the Trajectory + symbol twice, Ball 1's Trajectory
will change to 12 and Ball 2's trajectory will change to -18. Tapping the Speed – symbol once results in
