Mr. Newgarden was more than a sponsor to me, he was a friend, an encourager, a mentor.  And not just to me, but to the entire table tennis community.  His dream of building a simple, reliable, easy-to-use robot came true with his first invention and continued as he developed more and more robots…  1929, then 2000, then 2040, then 2050, and now 3050.  Before his death, he was able to see his dream come true…  a human-like robot and was so simple to use that a 1st grader could program it.
