Rampaging Industrial Robot Destroys RV With Bowling Balls

Maybe that title is just a wee bit sensationalist, but how else am I supposed to describe this?

The robot doing the tossing is a Kuka industrial robot, which can also be quite dexterous. What I want to know is how the heck these guys got their destructive little hands on one, so that I can get my fair share of playtime… Not that I’d have a clue how to program a robot to chuck bowling balls over a hundred feet based on a custom made visual targeting system. Impressive, most impressive.
