     For all of you saying that this is waste of time, please consider the applications of this. Delicate surgery could be done by this robot eliminating wait times. This could also speed up manufacturing of sustainable products. This isn't the end of this technology, it is a milestone that will continue to evolve. Or is everybody just jealous that they are flipping burgers instead of innovating?

      @FunkynugsHow? You won't know how hard you hit the ball until you actually hit it. Unless you're thinking about having a machine that sees into the future to show you how hard you will end up hitting the ball.
