FAQ

  • How does CyberPicker know where to go?

    CyberPicker uses GPS technology to pre-define the boundaries of the golf driving range. Once the CyberPicker routes on your driving range are established using Google Maps, CyberPicker will faithfully follow those pathways until you decide to change them. CyberPicker’s GPS guidance system does away with the need for laying out and maintaining guiding wires throughout the driving range.

  • Signage markers, bunkers, and other obstacles are randomly placed around the range. Won’t CyberPicker run into them?

    CyberPicker incorporates sensors that detect obstacles in its path. Should CyberPicker identify an obstacle, it is programmed to adjust its approach to avoid a collision automatically, then find its way back to its mapped route and continue operating as designed.

  • How many golf balls can CyberPicker retrieve before it has to unload?

    Our current design can capture and dispense up to 1,000 golf balls in a single load.

  • What happens when CyberPicker runs out of power or has no more room to store golf balls?

    CyberPicker is designed to monitor the capacity of its battery charge as it operates. The battery run time is about eight hours, depending on the terrain and ball load. CyberPicker will automatically head to its home base to recharge when the battery discharges to a pre-set level. Once sufficiently charged, it will then undock from the charging station and resume collecting golf balls. You can also schedule the CyberPicker charging process for any specified time. Further, CyberPicker will detect the weight of the golf balls it has collected, and when it reaches capacity, it will automatically drive to the designated station to discharge its load. Once unloaded, it resumes its operation of collecting more balls.

  • What happens when CyberPicker gets hit by a golf ball?

    CyberPicker is made of impact-resistant carbon fiber materials, and its low-profile design helps deflect impact energy. It has been rigorously tested to withstand the impact of fast-flying golf balls.

  • After a significant rain, the range can get soft and is easily damaged. How does CyberPicker avoid harming the surface when operating under such conditions?

    CyberPicker is designed to have fully effective and functional weigh. It is light and nimble enough to operate in soft terrain without damage to the range.

  • Our customers demand and expect us to provide them with good quality golf balls. We can’t afford for them to undergo damage during retrieval. How does CyberPicker prevent such damage?

    We have intentionally designed CyberPicker to handle golf balls with a white glove treatment. We use durable yet forgiving materials that contact the golf balls without causing damage – a gentler process for your golf ball health than the traditional methods you may be employing now.
