Screw the robot. The augmented reality stuff is by far cooler than the robot.

the augmented reality stuff is clearly magic. mathmagic most likely - which is the blackest of black magic. Angels are for chumps.

I contend that it is in the nature of each billiard ball to start moving and stop moving.

Causality. Bah!

Yes, but i'm curious if it picks the outbound lines based on the angle of the shadow of the stick? Or if there is some guy with a computer in the background choosing the angle the light leaves the ball.

The robot is called Deep Green.

I found the video on gizmodo this morning.

I'm pretty sure a dog playing pool beats a robot.

By way of evidence, I posit crime-solving.

Scooby Doo beats Robocop, DESPITE my love of OCP's finest.
