Border Collie Disc Caddy

newtboy says...

No, it’s “disk golf”. A separate entity from “golf”.

That’s like asking “is it really tennis if you play it on a table?”. It’s table tennis.
Is it really hockey if it uses air not ice? It’s air hockey.
Is it really a bicycle if it doesn’t move? It’s a stationary bicycle.

The Funniest Table Tennis Match in HISTORY

Robotic table tennis tutor

Call me disappointed. Although it's cool robotics tech, it's hardly playing at any remotely skillful table tennis ability. Maybe cool for robotics, not so much for table tennis.

I love table tennis, but I know it looks kinda silly to most people when played seriously. Grown men and women taking giant swings with tiny paddles. This is a new level of silly. It combines the most ridiculous part of soccer with an already silly looking sport. I'd still rather watch it then baseball though.

The Duel: Timo Boll vs. KUKA Robot

eric3579 says...

Im guessing the possibility to one day create a competitive table tennis robot is doable but doubt they are anywhere near that now technologically (just a guess). The info that has to be gathered before each shot and the ability for the computer/robot to counter with the best type of shot seems like a daunting task for the computer/robot to make.

From this video im guessing that it wouldn't take much of a table tennis player to destroy a robotic competitor. I see nothing here that makes me think this robot could play worth a shit competitively. Way to easy to exploit it's shortcomings is my guess.

Now a robotic pool player seems much more realistic.

How about computer controlled car in a formula one race?

Ultimate Ping Pong Showdown - Saive vs Chuang

The most humorous table tennis match ever

artician says...

I know. This is amazing. I assume they are professionals since they appear to have all the trappings, surroundings, etc. This is how I always played sports of any kind, and why my love of sports was socially-executed at an extremely young age (maybe 5th grade at most?)
I've always held that "it's only a game" is the mantra necessary for enjoyment of the event, but ever since I was repeatedly bitched out by teammates for being open when I fouled someone else in a sport, or otherwise being honest about how some interaction wasn't ultimately fair, I just lost interest (and faith in humanity, in general).
This was great to watch, but not even the first time I've seen it. What is it about table-tennis that makes the participants so eager to throw off their egos and have fun?
Also much respect for one of the most demanding examples of control over small-scale kinetics.
