Pong Robot from Ivo Vos on Vimeo.

If you always wanted a robot that did nothing but convinced you somehow that it is a robot, you must try the Pong-Playing Robot. Well, the robot does do something and it plays Pong. Wow, how interesting. The robot plays pong continuously that it may even play after you are buried six feet underground. The robot comes with a webcam-head, which it uses to watch the ball travel between its metallic paddles.

It almost has a steampunk like quality to it and is well worth the buy if you want to show your guests how boring you can be. In fact, that gives me an idea, this could also be used to deter unwanted guests from entering your house again. Scare your guests away with the Pong playing robot!

The robot also plays this boring game in a disgustingly slow manner that have no choice but to face existential angst of being stuck with a pong-playing robot or commit suicide. That perhaps is the absurdity of life, and would make Albert Camus roll in his grave. The Pong-Playing robot could be the final revenge to someone you hate the most. Just make sure you lock them up for good in the attic with the robot. Your revenge is served.
