tisaak writes "Second-year Mechanical Engineering students of the ETH Zurich are required to participate in the so-called "Innovation Project". A subject is assigned each year and 12 teams battle it out to develop a complete product. This year's subject was "Sport and rehabilitation" and "Cleaning". One of the teams managed to build a floating, ball-throwing kind of robot. I think the whole idea is funny and the fact that it has a lot of cables and a processor in it should appeal to the Slashdot public :-) The electronics platform used is called C-Control and is used to control the sensors, the motor and the LCD-Display. The implementation of the game program is nice, considering it is written in a subset of BASIC."

I don't know why...
I do. There is a comment on /. for about every second story that says somthing along the lines of 'I read the headline as...' or 'Is it just me or did anyone else read...'. You created the headline White Basketball Robot so the white robots can't jump would make sense. hehe funny that
Yes I am spoiling the fun.
