YouTuber and former NASA engineer Mark Rober put his high-speed robot goalkeeper to the test against Cristiano Ronaldo. The machine blocked several of Ronaldo's power shots before the star changed tactics—a delicate, placed finish beat the bot after a transport-related mechanical flaw bent a rail and reduced its rightward range. Ronaldo called the robot one of his toughest opponents; the challenge video smashed past 13 million views in a day.
Rober's team built a system to stop balls up to 80 mph (128 km/h) with just 250 ms to react: 22 infrared cameras, reflective ball markers, and a tracker that ran 500 trajectory calculations/sec (detecting the ball 6 ms after the kick).
