TOPIO ping pong robot intimidates with abs and shades
Sure, building a robot that plays ping pong is in itself an impressive feat. But building a ping pong playing robot that looks this downright badass? That's taking things to the next level. Just look at this thing! It has huge muscles and defined abs, and he wears sunglasses inside! He's like a robot from the Jersey shore. I love it.

What's the point of looking badass if you have no junk? I mean yeah it makes you an intimidating pingpong player, but seriously that must be depressing for that robot. At the very least they could have given him pants to hide his little problem.

This is true life reflecting the vision of Gene Roddenberry. Data playing pong, next it will pick up a violin and play Bach

You can see older versions actually playing tennis on youtube. I haven't found any videos of this model, though. It's interesting to see the robot's progression. This version is just awesome. Now he plays ping pong, next he'll be taking your daughter out on dates!
