We're kind of excited about the idea of a robot baseball player, but we're also filled with questions. If we did ever create a fully functional android teammate, would it compete against other robots, or would it play against a mix of machines and humans to spice things up?
Speaking of robots, Bridget Carey got to hang out on Royal Caribbean's fancy new cruise ship, The Quantum of the Seas, and have a drink in its Bionic Bar. You know the one; it's the bar featuring robot bartenders. It's very awesome, and you should watch it.
