PhillieBot Robot Gives First Pitch at a Phillies Game

[phillybirdsphan]

it still pitches better than john wall.

[grunder20]

An amazing robot!

[GreenmeGo]

Good pitch

[razorslice17]

Don't worry. They only boo'ed it because they thought it was a small child. Stay classy.

[elpapi3443]

Why are people so ignorant seriously!? You fucks don't make your research before posting negative comments? THEY TOLD THE STUDENTS TO LOWER THE ROBOT'S PITCHING BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT THE PHANATIC TO GET HURT. Jesus Christ no wonder this world seems so retarded no days! smh -___-'

[dkamikazeb]

thats a gamepad for the pc

[insdmia]

Gotta love the Phanatic calling for the lefty from the pen...

[JeranimoJames]

Everyones just booing the fact that Rebecca Black is in the suggestions.

[xXSabres91Xx]

hahah did anyone else see this on Pardon The Interruption? haha they were giving it so much shit.

[ArtificialCornstarch]

this is still cool but its like a catapult more than pitching

[matthewspa2]

They boo everything and everyone in Philly. Even their own teams when they aren't doing well.

[fireant202]

Haha I saw this thing in front of the Engineering quad and had no idea what it was. Doesn't look like a really good throw though.

[Lewman]

thumbs up if walt brought you here

[dairshipper]

They booed the robot? WTF

[maxdaname]

@dairshipper

They booed Santa Claus. What were you expecting?

[MrHilipon]

Does the guy controlling the robot with PS3 joystick? :D

[MrHilipon]

Does the guy controlling the robot with joystick of PS3? :D

[cjmayo]

The Phanatic really has a stranglehold on the whole Phillie mascot scene.

[AfkND]

Robot, "Crowd is booing me?!? EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"

*fast pitches into crowd killing random fans*

Announcer, "Lets give a hand for PhilleBot."

[upload]

Philadelphia booed him for no reason thats low class pal i have no respect for u philedelfia cheese fags

[carmenimperial]

best pitch ive seen for a long time

[codessatexas]

That robot could probably throw a no-hitter against the Padres.

[charninaker]

it's a darn pitching machine folks!

[NallePu83]

Not made in japan XD

[jasebuzz822]

wow the fans booed what jackasses

[sudoGaron]

Leave it to Philly fans to Ruin a great moment. Fail fans are fail. Thumbs up!

[gmanskater1234]

[SuicidalGrunt26]

U throw like a...zzzz....oh like a .......GRIL

[NQtips]

Lol, he's using a PS3 controller! 1:29

[crashtubes]

Jesus as a britI wanted to love baseball when I went to a game in NYC

it's more boring than Cricket!

There's only so many time i can shout LETS GO METS before thinking FML

[miraeja]

1. getting into upenn is damn hard 2. being an engineering major at upenn is even harder 3. building a robot is hundred times harder than that

give the nerd a round of applause. he earned it.

[SnollaSnax]

@miraeja Ya, people fail to realize these things while their snacking on cheetos getting ready to go to macdonalds for another day of work. (I worked at macdonalds and work in a kitchen so Im not hatin'... just sayin)

[Tarantul121292]

why do i want to hit this mascott so hard?

[kenesis]

throwing robot = throwbot. ... hahah. i made a funny.

[pueblo976]

baseball is dead

[noobyoutubification]

still can throw better than obama

[SuperFlyBonsai]

appropriate song a the end

[Anactofgod]

Booing a guy who makes cool stuff like this?

Stay classy Philadelphia.

[jordanv78]

At least this pitch was better than Baba Booey's first pitch

[lazyboi226]

thumbs up if conan brought you here

[Legend28x]

Only humans should throw out a first pitch.

[Sabre25]

Just heard about this on Conan.

[tbbucs419]

Skynet



[nutballgazette]

After the gamr the Phillies released Phillirbot, and Yes it is true, The New York Mets have signed him and he is starting Friday night at Citi Field.

[Sylar482]

I really like that bird suit! I want one!! LOL

[hey413m]

so they crapped a good idea because the guy in the mascot suit broke his wrist? is this t-ball? c'mon now...

[ninaflorenz]

if you bothered to read what they wrote about the little guy above, you'd know he was told to pitch a very slow ball. I think he looks very elegant ... stripes and all... and I'd love to see him pitch a fast ball. At least it produced some great press for both UPenn and for the Philly Science Festival which was the featured event for this game. It's this kind of fun stuff that gets our kids interested in science and technology so whoever took the trouble to do this...kudos and many thanks.

[rhymezobust]

@ninaflorenz If you bothered to think about what they wrote, you'd know it was sarcasm.

[hey413m]

what a disapointment, i was waiting for the ball to go through the backstop and into the stands

[ClarkWise]

I'm pretty sure the Phanatic is signaling for a pitching change.

[ClarkWise]

"Some of these people would boo the crack in the Liberty Bell."

-- Pete Rose, regarding Philadelphia fans

[funkybassmaster]

Only in Philly would they boo a student project.

[ioranecul]

You guys need to read the info about videos before you comment.

[SportShouting]

The Mets should probably sign the robot - can't be any worse than the guys they have now...

[tua07442]

Wow, that robot is as fast as Jimmy Rollins now.

[jetboy66]

Sooo they brought out a glorified pitching machine to throw out the first pitch. I don't get it.

[Evi1M4chine]

It’s baseball. It’s lame boring shit by definition.

[130killa]

@Evi1M4chine you sir are a disgrace to the human race.Baseball is AMERICA, you obviously know nothing abut the history of baseball and how it was meant to bring the people together in times of tough times like the great depression and so on and so forth. Even if you hate baseball you still have to respect it for what it is

[heatfan2345]

@130killa First of all, although I love baseball, it is very boring. Secondly, he can hate and disrespect baseball all he wants. By the way, it was not "meant" to bring people together any more than chess was. It's a sport, brought into it's modern form in the late 19th century, that HAS brought people together. Maybe you're respecting it for the wrong reasons.

[Darlemonte]

@130killa

lol if someones not into something they may hold their own opinions.

im not a fan of baseball either but i wont disrespect it.

its boring entertainment wise to me, though fun to interact with. but its purpose only works if it appeals to individuals. not everyones gonna like it lol.

[SubscribeHoar]

awesome stuff :)

[interneti]

Wow, looks like a student project! Who let this thing get on the field?

[NeverevenStudios]

I suppose he could go Little League...

[mirhunter]

hmmm... kinda looks like a Dalek prototype...

[nygiantsfromcali]

Whats with all the hate is is not a easy task

(btw I wasn't any of them im just a guy)

[trr321321]

People were booing I think. No second try? Not good.

[Figila001]

is this a joke?

[87655788]

expecting 100 mph not 3. Sciences are getting lazy nowdays jezz

[Fantius1]

Incredibly lame.
