Deep Green, pool playing robot

First chess, now pool. Michael Greenspan of Queen's Univerisity has developed a pool-playing robot called Deep Green. Deep Green is equipped with a vision system that can identify striped and solid balls, and supposedly has an understanding of physics that allows it rival any human player at making a shot. The ability to hustle you out of your money is optional.
