Rock Paper Scissors Robot

Robot is unbeatable at rock, paper, scissors.

The question is, would it also be unbeatable at rock, paper, scissors, Spock? I think not.

Great, they taught a robot to cheat. 


One step closer to replacing Congressmen with robots.

Spock always wins!

The "Ro" in Roshambo is short for Robot!, so there's nothing to be done about it!

I always thought it was Rochambeau after the Comte de Rochambeau. of Revolutionary War fame.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I looked it up (to find out how to spell it) and found it spelled both ways. Decided to go with anything that wasn't French.

Why is the robot cheating? It's doing exactly what a person does, just faster.

What happens when you play two of these against each other?

Wrong. The rules say the signs must be thrown at the same time. The robot is reading the human thrown sign and then throwing the winning sign.
