thewayneThis is just too cool. These guys own an industrial robot. And a Wii. So they decide to have some fun and program it to work with a tennis game. The video shows the robot hitting a tennis ball, and apparently they bopped the video camera operator!
But the coolness begins when they mount a sword in the robot's claws/grasper/whatever! They actually have it thrust!
