This is awesome. I'd love to have this for home practice.

But can the robot shit talk? As a fellow lover of foosball I find that shit talking is ingrained in the culture as demoralizing an opponent (see Community) is a big part of winning at the highest level and should be the next step. I think a committed foosball player might end up creating the first true AGI just for proper shit talking.

Foosball is a tabletop game without general cultural respect (like table tennis does as an olympic sport) or chess, but while robots can easily beat me at chess these days it looks like I'd still be able to beat a state of the art robot foosball table.

The video is very intentionally funny (in a dry way) across the board but owning your younger brother as part of it is hilarious and he was a good sport.

I was thinking about spending an hour or two hooking up a chatbot api and maybe even sending it live position/score data so it could customize it's trash talk, but in the end I just wanted to get the video out so didn't. Would have been funny though!
