Anything we can do, robots will eventually do better.

We often feature Boston Dynamics and their rather creepy creations, the latest of which was that parkour robot, but this time around we’re going for something incredibly frivolous.

Teens have long tried to perfect the art of the water bottle flip (the benchmark has been set), but in Japan they just build robots to do it.

At RoboCon earlier this month, which is a national high school robotics contest, the art of bottle flipping was taken to the next level.

Here’s VICE:

Considering that the robots were made by teams whose members are between 15 and 20 years old, the precision of these water bottle flipping robots is mind boggling. Some of them manage to bounce the bottles off the table at precise angles so that the bottle lands right side up, while others flip multiple bottles to produce a wild aerial show. Perhaps the most impressive, however, is the bottle bot that manages to fling a water bottle across the stage and bounce it off of a trampoline and onto a high table.

It’s all true – just look at these robots (and their creators) flipping out:

Once they teach these robots how to upload their videos to social media, it really will render teenagers obsolete.
