Robotic batting tee system

A batting tee system, comprising:

• a vertical tee system comprising:
• a housing;
• a ball holder for holding a ball;
• a neck movable along a vertical axis, the neck coupled at a first end to the housing, and further coupled at a second end to the ball holder;
• a first actuator positioned in the housing and operable to move the neck along the vertical axis thereby increasing and decreasing a distance between the ball holder and the housing;
• a first control system operable to cause the first actuator to move the neck to a first random position along the vertical axis, wherein the control system is further operable to cause the first actuator to move the neck from the first random position along the vertical axis to a second random position along the vertical axis, different than the first random position along the vertical axis, after the ball is hit from the ball holder when the neck is in the first random position along the vertical axis;
• a horizontal tee system comprising:
• a base;
• a first carriage moveably coupled to the base;
• a second carriage moveably coupled to the first carriage, the second carriage operable to hold the vertical tee system;
• a second actuator coupled to the base and operable to move the first carriage and the second carriage along a first horizontal axis relative to the base;
• a third actuator coupled to the first carriage and operable to move the second carriage along a second horizontal axis relative to the base and the first carriage;
• and
• a second control system operable to:
• cause the second actuator to move the first carriage and the second carriage to a first random position along the first horizontal axis;
• cause the third actuator to move the second carriage to a first random position along the second horizontal axis;
• cause the second actuator to move the first carriage and the second carriage from the first random position along the first horizontal axis to a second random position along the first horizontal axis, different than the first random position along the first horizontal axis, after the ball is hit from the ball holder when the first carriage and the second carriage are in the first random position along the first horizontal axis;
• and
• cause the third actuator to move the second carriage from the first random position along the second horizontal axis to a second random position along the second horizontal axis, different than the first random position along the second horizontal axis, after the ball is hit from the ball holder when the second carriage is in the first random position along the second horizontal axis;
• and
• one or more connectors operable to releasably couple the vertical tee system to the second carriage of the horizontal tee system.
