Pretty cool, but one flaw: it seems literally impossible to beat. Any good AI for a game can be beaten, that's the point, offer a challenge but make it beatable

I was about to welcome our new Robotic Air Hockey Overlords, but no.

This is the line. Here we must make our stand.

BURN IT!!! BURN IT WITH FIRE!!!

but cheating is what makes humans better than computers.

having said that 2:14 in, the computer is playing downhill, that's no fair !

One might also add, that cheating is what a whole lotta real hockey fans pack arenas to get to watch live!

Sr'sly tho, it looks impossible not to be able to beat, look at he limp-wristed form the fleshly opponents are obviously using to showcase the limitations, as well as the AI's apparent lack of creative offense...
