FAKE, I got PROOF it is a Fake. Check out the attached pic to explain it all or read and/or read explanation. Look at the bottom of the goal. watch as the balls to 'throuth the goal right', as they cross through the goal and WE KNOW that the balls go into the goal, disappear as they are blocked from view by the bottom of the ring and reappear in the gap and then disappear again when they go behind the stand. However, they are being caught by a guy standing IN FRONT of the goal into a garbage can. NOT POSSIBLE. TOTAL FAKE.
I suspect they overlayed 2 videos. Look as the video is playing at the where that midle arrow is pointing, that 1 top of a ball glimpse is there for a while in the video. Any other guesses on how they faked it?
I suspected fake in the first place because he said it was in the rumor mill not robot showcase.

This IS a real mechanism, but is not neccesarily mounted on a robot. The top of the 'device' was 60" off the ground. It uses a single 7" wheel spinning at ~1750rpm. The balls exit the device at around 35 degrees. It would shoot faster if we had a method of feeding them faster.
