They must not be just NFL robots, since I know why you brought it up.

They're still using them? I remember thinking they were pretty goofy when they started.

I remember thinking "how awesome would it be to have actual robots smashing each other on the field". But that was years ago. =(

I'd rather they keep the robot and rid themselves of Joe Buck. Hate that fuckin guy.

I thought Buck was the robot the OP was talking about.

Actually, the FOX robots are just CGI characters. It appears they did some motion capture then used that to bring the CGI to life.

BTW, I never much cared for them...

It can't possibly come soon enough for me. They're totally fucking retarded. MIGHT have been cool 15 years ago...one time...but that's it.

NFL uses robots?

I think a football game with NS5 robots would be pretty epic to watch. At least till they decide to start attacking the fans.

Cyberball! i put a bunch of money into that game.

I wouldn't be surprised if in 10 years you'll have something resembling cyberball.

Well, you'd think that 30 years working in automation and robotics and the fact that I've worked for a Japanese automation company for the last seven years I'd be in love with them -- nope...
