I compete in air hockey at a national level, this company got a hold of the number 11 guy in the world for testing this thing.

Meaning that if the puck is not moving or barely moving when you take your shot that you have zero chance of scoring. The processor can handle any speed on the puck. The only way to get a goal on it is to take a shot while the puck is in motion or lean over the table to blind the overhead "eye" where as it would take a split second to discover where the puck is after the shot.
