The extras that turn a folding table into a game room: stainless steel sets, table mats that save your cups (and your floor), official racks, novelty glasses, even a remote-control pong robot.

Here’s an awesome party drinking game toy: a remote control (RC) beer pong robot named Pongbot. Pongbot holds 5 solo cups. There is one cup in the center surrounded by four cups on each corner. The base of the robot is lit by red or green under-lighting which makes it great for parties. Add some glowing beer pong cups for the ultimate effect. They are sensors meant to keep Pongbot from falling off the edge of the table and in our experience the Pongbot is relatively durable if it does take a tumble. Ultimately you’re the driver with the remote control that is reasonably responsive.
You can have loads of fun with everyone taking shots at just one beer pong robot, but we prefer having two units and splitting into teams. We like to preserve the competitive aspects of the game. Pongbot adds an interesting twist to beer pong by giving the defending team a chance to juke out the opponents’ shots. The quick back and forth movements make it surprising difficult to zero in on the target.
Ready to add some class to your beer pong experience? Invest in a stainless steel beer pong set from CupsCo. This metal beer pong kit is sure to last you through your entire beer pong career. The kit comes with 20 top quality 1/8″ stainless steel cups. Each cup is hand polished for a brilliant shine. In addition the kit comes with 4 beer pong balls ready to go. The beer pong kit comes in a bombproof aluminum carrying case complete with precision cut foam inserts to keep your new cups safe and protected from scratching.
Is a stainless steel set worth it?
It’s reusable. No more buying sleeves of plastic cups for every party. Rinse them and they’re ready for next weekend.
It won’t tip as easily. Metal cups are heavier than plastic, so fewer games get decided by a spilled cup.
It plays a little different. A hard rim can kick a ball out that a plastic cup would have swallowed, so soft arcs win. See how to throw.
It’s a gift. For the friend who already has the table, the sign and the trophy, a polished steel set in a carrying case is the upgrade.

A beer pong mat is a roll-out waterproof cover, about 6 feet by 2 feet, that turns any long table into a pong table and keeps it dry. A beer pong cup holder (or rack) locks your 10 cups in a perfect triangle so they don’t slide, tip or spill. Get a mat if you don’t have a real table; get cup holders if you do. Here’s what each one is good for, and the ones we’d buy.
A 71 x 24 inch waterproof PVC mat that covers any table long enough to hold it. It comes with 30 reusable cups (15 red, 15 blue) and 8 balls, so it’s a whole game in one box. Wipe it down and roll it up after.
Best for night games: Glow in the Dark Beer Pong Table Mat Set
A 71 x 23 inch waterproof mat with 22 cups, 22 LED cup lights and six glowing balls. More night-game ideas are in our glow-in-the-dark beer pong guide.
Fill the racks with water and freeze them, and they hold 10 cups in a tight triangle while keeping them cold for hours. They still let you call every standard re-rack. Two racks, three balls and a rules card are in the box.
Any rack shape you can call, from the zipper to the stoplight, is in our rack formations guide.
DIY: no mat, no holders
Mark the spots. Trace a 16 oz cup with painter’s tape or a dry-erase marker in a 4-3-2-1 triangle at each end. Exact measurements are in our beer pong table dimensions guide.
Protect the table. A cheap plastic tablecloth taped tight works for one night. It does kill bounce shots.
Weight the cups. An inch of water in every game cup stops most tipping without a rack.
Building a table anyway? Paint the cup spots on and seal it. See our DIY beer pong table guide.
FAQ

A roll-out waterproof cover, usually about 6 x 2 feet, that turns any long table into a beer pong table and protects it from spills.
