R2 is going to appear with Howie Long on the show. R2 isn’t going to do anything sports related- the current prototype consists of only a head, torso, two arms and two five-fingered hands. The government doesn’t want to scare you with the ‘other’ robots they have in secret, which in fact can throw a football and run faster than you, a human. You can only see this guy for now.
