Well spotted, wouldn't have thought it is fake as it is from a reputable news source, but sure doesn't look right.

I'd say it was fake - the movement of the robots is far too smooth compared to the jerky movement of the ball by the looks of it. And for them to move so fast and accurately they'd need to have some power behind them surely - I'm not dead clued up on electric motor technology but with the size of the thing I'm finding it hard to believe.
