Ahh, I remember seeing this video back when it first surfaced. One of my favorite comments I saw somewhere (maybe slashdot?) was that robotic capability is usually insufficient for something like dribbling a ping pong ball ... until it isn't, at which point it can do it hundreds of times a second flawlessly.

I'm sure I've paraphrased quite liberally with the comment, but hopefully the intent stands. With sufficient engineering we should be capable of many many things quite soon.
