[ExI] robo-soccer

[spike at rainier66.com]

Levi Stadium in Santa Clara CA is close enough I can hear the crowd noise from my back yard when the wind is right.  Santa Clara is Geek City in Nerdvana County USA.  I can easily imagine the first robo-soccer match selling the place out at 50 a seat.  Then eventually we will get robo-baseball and robo-football (the kind where the ball has pointy-ends, BillK.)  Those will take longer, but in every case, sold-out stadium, cubic buttloads of money for whoever can get there first.

Clarification: they have soccer matches at nearby Levi Stadium.  I wouldn't go to one if someone gave me tickets.  But I would cheerfully hand over 50 clams to see a robo-soccer match.  My spidey-sense it tingling: there is money to be made.

This looks like one hell of a lotta fun:

I predict it will show up here soon, and make the sport popular.
