  • Hmm. Wonder what other nonsense are coming out of pool/billiards world already. Lols.

  • aimbot~!

  • Fucking ninjas!

  • Foul long before

  • Why?

    

  • @Isanion The stroke difficulty is determined using the "allowed angular difficulty", which is basically the stroke's "error" angle that allows the object ball to be pocketed. The smaller the angle is, the easier the stroke will be.

    It's all on their website and article.

  • Yeah, but can it buy you a shot and rack?

  • quite nice.

    a robot can be VERY good at pool : )
