Rechargeable/Bluetooth Ping Pong Paddles with Docking Station
*This idea came about when me and my friends would always lose track of what the score was and how many volleys were completed while playing.

Background Information
Table Tennis aka "Ping Pong" has been around since the 1880's. The general/main rules are as follows: players must allow a ball played toward them to bounce one time on their side of the table, and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side at least once. A point is scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules.
This automated ping pong racket will automatically keep track of the score through a sensitive cover on the paddle's rubber coating and through a wireless connection through sensors located on the table that will display the current score. The first to 11 wins.
