Can’t win ‘em all. 

This is a match at the RoboCup, an international competition for soccer-playing robots. By 2050, roboticists hope to have full-sized humanoid AI robots compete against the champions of the World Cup. Sounds crazy, right? It’s not as insane as you’d think.

What do you see? Some kind of band spinning around, or something twisting?

The motion of the first band shown above is ambiguous. Its more obvious that the band on the left is spinning, whereas the band on the right is twisting. The particular dynamics are made evident by watching the two black points on the bands edges. But without these defining features the motion of the gray band is indistinguishable between the two cases.

Perhaps the band is not moving at all, and instead its just the observer’s perspective rotating around this twisted yet inert band!

Can you think of any other shape that might exhibit this kind of symmetry?
