He def got off to a fast start but faded towards the end. Still pretty amazing to think that it is doing all that with no human assistance.

The rise of the machine has begun, we'll all be saluting lord robotron before we know it. LOL

It almost seems when he is on a streak they have to dumb him down a bit so the humans stand a chance. Hehe.

Does he have a mechanical arm that acts as his clicker? Or how does that work?

I was wonderning that. Seems they'd have to put in some sort of delay that is equivelent to the average reaction time of a human. I don't think we can react in nano seconds like a computer. Well I can but don't know about the rest of you :-D

But no, no mechanical arm.

Actually he is pressing a mechanical clicker to buzz in. It showed it on the first episode...I'll post the vid if I can find it.

This vid shows his clicker around the 3:25 mark, but there was a bit on episode 1 that explained it all...but it's too hard for me to find on my phone.
