If you’ve ever wondered whether the referee in an important hockey game was dropping the puck just a little on the other guys’ side to give them an edge, here’s the solution.
Rear Adm. Walter Carter, captain of the carrier Carl Vinson’s hockey team, and Navy explosive ordnance disposal technician Lt. Bob Pizzini waited for a Navy EOD robot to drop the puck Aug. 29 and start a charity hockey game in Chesapeake, Va. Presumably it landed dead-center, with digital precision.
When the robots can tear themselves away from the demands of the amateur hockey season, they can also be used to investigate and disarm explosives.
