   Forget it. Baseball can never be replaced by robots.

   Why not? After all, baseball is a thinking man’s—er, robot’s—game.

   Do they use wood or aluminum bats?

   You will a be low complexity and real-time nature of the calculations necessary to detect a thrown baseball predicted trajectory and to swing a bat in such a manner as to intersect that trajectory over the plate of a baseball game (in a very limited time, from the pitch to the catchers mit is less than two seconds), I doubt that there is any computer system currently available which we do let alone a portable robotic system. Then there is the problems with developing a robot which could run the bases. and also field the hit balls (more real time calculations). To make a baseball playing robot would make hitting an incoming ICBM seem easy in comparison Besides human players are just more entertaining….

   Did the metal to build the robots come from the miner leagues?
