Exactly...and it has no sense of accomplishment or sorrow when it misses. Still, an impressive display of robotics design and computer programming.
More impressive is the video of Niels making that 130 ball run. Yes, there are people who play better than a machine. I'm definitely not one of them. I do stupid stuff like make a difficult shot, and while mentally patting myself on the back for it, I'll dog the next shot, one that should be an easy one. Niels has a remarkable ability to control the cue ball. The machine didn't seem able to do that.
