    I imagine they will scale back robot design and just throw from the truck.

        I’m gonna say CGI. Arm isn’t mounted to the floor (I can tell by the pixels), no cables going to the arm, holding the bowling ball like that is extremely unsafe.

          Gif compression definitely makes it look more believable, I remember falling for this the first time I saw it
