Robotic Hand Never Loses At Paper-Rock-Scissors

This is a robotic hand created by the folks at the University of Tokyo's Ishikawa Oku Lab that never loses at paper-rock-scissors. How? By reading your hand then responding with the winning gesture in less than a millisecond. Whatever, I could still beat it. Ready? One, two, three, shoot! Damn, he got me. Best two out of three. *lops robot's fingers off with bolt-cutters* Haha -- now he's always rock! Ready? One, two, three, shoot! "Dammit GW, you choose scissors." Man, he's GOOD.

Hit the jump for a video demo of the we should just choose straws anyways.

Thanks to Inspector G, LostBoyGoonie and Bachmann, who agree the best way to win at paper-rock-scissors is to always choose dynamite.

  This is a video of Kåre "Zenta" Halvorsen's MorpHex hexapod robot. It has six legs and can morph into a ball and a couple other shapes. The only things it's missing from the ones in my nightmares are machine guns and a loudspeaker constantly blaring 'RESISTANCE IS FUTILE, FLE... / Continue →
