TEMPE – The Arizona State football program is partnering with Monarc to bring the Seeker to the desert to help maximize on-field training throughout the year.
The Seeker, developed and produced by Monarc, is the world's first robotic quarterback. With endless game-like passes, punts and kicks, it generates unlimited practice opportunities and enables players to get the reps they need on offense, defense and special teams.
"We have recently been in conversations with Monarc on partnering to incorporate their cutting edge technology to support football player development. A generous gift was secured to do just that. We have seen immediate impact as our football student-athletes have started spring football, and are spending more time with more flexibility than ever before, working on their craft with the help of the Monarc robotic quarterback," said Sun Devil Athletics Deputy AD and Football General Manager Jean Boyd.
Created to satisfy player's demands for high-volume reps, the Seeker is the world's first technology that allows footballs to be thrown to receivers without the help of someone continually feeding the machine. In addition, the machine possesses the capability to track athletes' positions on the field to throw the ball at a specific speed, at a specific location on the field and at a specific position on the player's body.
The speed is adjustable but can reach as high as 75 mph for punt and kickoff work.
The Seeker has a user-friendly touchscreen interface along with a six-ball magazine that allows you to throw, punt or kick up to six balls in twelve seconds with pinpoint accuracy, eliminating wasted reps while drastically increasing practice efficiency.
