Nic-Xac-Toe

Young humanoid, after seeing other tic-tac-toe machines, along with the NXTLog arcade game challenge, wanted to build an unbeatable tic-tac-toe game.  He found construction of the game rather simple.  The human user would play with the white squares, while the robot would use yellow Zamor spheres.  A mechanism that moved over the x-y Cartesian plane would move a light sensor to scan the pieces and also move the Zamor sphere dispenser.  Then, I had a peaceful three days while young humanoid worked tirelessly to program it.  As a result, the robot could indeed tie or win almost every single game except in a few scenarios.
