we said kat hawkins to ta ke these things. we said kat hawkins to take a look.das telstar 18. i wanted to find out what goes into the design behind us. this year but they design is 80 new version of the iconic adidas bois—franc the 1970 world cup, the telstar. but if just as the victim. this university have been almost 20 years. hello. the team used a roboleg to replicate the impact on the ball. we have the fertility of a human player but the repeatability of the machine. even the best player in work cannot and a ball the same way twice. if we want to know how web all respond, we need the robot. let's seen in action, then. i am the robot. let's seen in action, then. iam impressed the robot. let's seen in action, then. i am impressed at the foot appears to be in front of the ball. three, two, one... 0k, appears to be in front of the ball. three, two, one... ok, so it is fast. from our point of view, it would be understanding how long the boot is in contact with the ball, how the ball the forms, and how it stores the energy and recovers that energy, and then that
