There are certain games made for guys just sitting around and drinking. Air hockey might be the most dangerous, if you lose your focus and put your fingers over the rail, that disc/puck is going to get you. Well, if you fancy yourself a decent air hockey player, now you have a worthy opponent.

The guys at NuVation won an award over the weekend at some nerd technology convention/ summit/ expo/ whatever. They designed a robot that is pretty effing awesome at air hockey. It doesn’t look that great on the offensive attack, but it’s going to be harder than hell to get one by robot. Watch the video for the details and nerd-speak to understand how they did it.
