White women and all blacks go to college and study BS like sociology while white/asian males study important but difficult subjects like physics and engineering. White and asian males gave us this amazing technological world we have.
Kuka Robot versus Timo Boll in table tennis challenge man versus machine - Mirror Online
Mar 11, 2014
It was man versus machine when world table tennis champion Timo Boll was pitted against his strongest challenger - a ROBOT.
German ping pong legend Timo has won several world and European accolades but none could prepare him for the rise of the machines.
Timo has been voted German sportsman of the year several times but it's in China where he is most celebrated for his table tennis mastery.
So when Robot firm Kuka decided to open a factory in Shanghai he was a natural ambassador for the firm, and the grand opening was celebrated with him being pitted against a Kuka robot.
The teaser for the match went viral with over a million views as the dramatic match played out with all the action of a Rocky movie.
And the match itself was just as scripted as Balboa-Drago but with a little help from CGI, Timo emerges victorious by a narrow 11-9 score.
The moral of the story being Kuka may not be the best at ping pong but they are the best at making robots.
