Meet Datic 1: Your New Basketball Buddy
If you dream of becoming the next Steph Curry or Sabrina Ionescu, you know that the secret lies in relentless practice—rain or shine, healthy or not. But finding a committed practice partner can be a real challenge. Enter technology: soon, you might be able to purchase your very own basketball companion for around $1,000.
Unveiled at CES 2025, the Davy Robot’s Datic 1 caught the attention of many eager attendees. Positioned under a basketball hoop, this innovative robot rebounds the ball after each shot, making it an ideal partner for your solo practice sessions.
- Weighs approximately 33 pounds
- Portable and easy to maneuver under any hoop
- Features extendable arms with netting for ball retrieval
- Equipped with machine vision and AI to track and return shots
“It’s like having a personal rebounder that never gets tired,” said one CES attendee.

The model showcased at CES had a lower-than-standard hoop height, but rest assured, the final version is set to reach the regulation 10 feet. With its intelligent design, Datic 1’s head swivels to follow your movements and return your shots with precision.
Davy is aiming for a Kickstarter launch this June, marking an exciting step forward in sports technology. So whether you’re shooting hoops at dawn or dusk, the Datic 1 might just be the perfect practice partner you’ve been waiting for.
