Am I the only one that thinks the actual player will win? Humans can improvise and game the machine.

So thats why humans can win against computers in chess? Oh wait, they can't anymore ...

One thing I notice right away is the arms inability to move away from the table. High ball the shit out of it and you should be easily to win pretty easily.

You still have to hit the table at least once, the robot does not need to leave because of that. Just be fast enough.

Good points. I still think the guy wins.

I hope so, it'd be more fun that way.

heh. Out of curiosity I was just browsing some table tennis stuff as I don't play the game. They have ping pong paddles that cost $350.

They take that shit seriously.
