We made 'Kinect Four' shortly after presenting World Poker Tour Player of the Year, Matt Salsberg, with our crazy poker table, 'All In'. Matt and I share a mutual friend who, upon seeing the unnamed "Kinect Four', jokingly asked, "Is that for the 'Connect Four Player of the Year'?" Since I loved that game as a child and now play it with my five year old son -- who cheats -- I thought it was really funny. When I mentioned it to my friend Jason, he said, "You should call it Kinect Four, K-I-N-E-C-T." I loved the idea! Coincidentally -- or in Synchronicity, as I believe -- advances in robotics were on my mind. I had just read an article explaining how the Microsoft Kinect was revolutionizing the robotics industry. Also, my client who commissioned this table is a software engineer for a biotech robotics manufacturer. The name was perfect!
