My table tennis is bad, almost never played it... and when I did I lost.
Chess was better :-) Football OK too.
We had a hockey team at school, played, but not realy my thing.
But I wonder, there was this women boxer at the olympics that broke down in tears
when she got knocked out by a trans male...
Now if that can play why not RobbyBot against humans?
