Dec 21 2007I'm In Love: Robot Opens And Pours Beer
The autonomous Bottlebot will pick up, open, and pour your beer into a glass. It was built by a college student for an engineering project, and it's pretty clear that this kid is the best and brightest in the class. That robot is A+ material. I would like to hire him on the spot. Sure I'm just hiring a night attendant at the gas station, but with his ingenuity and drive, he could make assistant manager in less than a year.
A must see video of the guy in action after the jump.

If it can OPEN my beer, and it can POUR my beer....
What's to stop it from DRINKING my beer?
If this damned thing gets anywhere near my beer, I swear I'm going all John Conner on its unholy metal ass.
