Every Day is a Winding Road

[AIM-11 134]

Have you ever hitched a ride with a vending machine repairman?  It's always an interesting trip, filled with high quality adventure stories and a beautiful mixture of man-machine interation. 

 

I mean, really?  The guy has a daughter named Easter that was born on a Tuesday.  You can't make this stuff up.

 

Basically what I mean is that the career of AIM-11 has not been everything the artificial intelligence industry had been hoping for.  Now, granted, AIM-11 did just go in your face beast-mode all over the VHLM in the playoffs, but there are many scouts who are questioning whether that type of play is going to translate into much of an VHL career.  The extra season of growth in the Minor League did not have quite the intended consequences, and while there was a little bit of advancement in the game of the robotic centerman, there was less than hoped for.

 

A new dawn is approaching as the very first artificially intelligent VHL player will play its first few games in the big leagues for Davos.  Due to some excellent depth on the team he will not be expected to play a first line role, but will provide secondary scoring as well as some important faceoff wins.

 

It should be interesting to see what happens.

 

Jump in, let's go
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low
These are the days when anything goes
