So, they can play forever without letting the ball bounce out of the table. Nice.

But what do you do if the robot misses the ball and that messes up the program and they start attacking innocent bystanders with the paddles beating people to death a ping or a pong at a time. Puff Puff Puff, sorry, kind of got carried away there.

How about they invent a place kicker who can hit a field goal from 38 yards and give it to the Vikings ?
