This is a video demonstration of the Octo-Bouncer, a robot that can track and repeatedly bounce a pingpong ball on its platter until the end of time, the ball turns to dust, or its unplugged — whichever comes first. I mean that’s cool and all, but can it play beer pong? Because I think I just smelled a new challenger to my beer pong championship title! *teammate whispers in ear this thing would destroy us* Oh — no, I must have just farted.
Keep going for the video.
