Caption contest: Robotis kicks one back

Ryan: "Ooh, the judges aren't gonna like that -- that spillover's gonna cost him at least a quarter point. The scores are in... 8.4. Ouch. He's not even going home with a bronze medal in this year's robo-beer-pour-lympics."
Thomas: "Beers, steers, and gears...yeeehaw!"
Evan: "If this is what the future robot 'oppression' will be like, sign us up!"
Paul: "And yet he can never enjoy the fruits of his labor."
Stan: "Introducing the world's first frat bro-bot."
[Thanks, Limor]

Come on little buddy, you are leaving too much head on the beer.

MIT Student proves the studies are wrong. Beer is more important than Ipods
lloyd @ Jun 8th 2006 2:37PM
until i can find a woman who's willing to bend over backwards and pour me a beer i guess the robot is going to have to do.
Ben @ Jun 8th 2006 2:39PM
He spilled the beer!

I'd like to remind our new robot beer-pouring overlords, that as a trusted engaget-poster I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground brewing caves...

After a long day of human domination, Gleep relaxes with the cool crisp taste of Botwesier.
ChrisXS @ Jun 8th 2006 2:54PM
We need a two-handed beerbot to perform the perfect pour.
It should come with an lcd interface and be programmable to account for different beer and glass types. It should also come with some presets preloaded for some of the common beer type/glass combinations.
Such a device would be great for some of the premium belgium ales as often times clueless/rushed bartenders have no skill at such things.
I would be love to walk into a bar and have the BeerPourBuddy2000 robot serve me!

99 bottles of beer on the wall 99 bottles of bear. “Oh crap Melvin, you forgot to charge me up before we stated the countdown!”

Nick C. @ Jun 8th 2006 3:00PM
what we didn't show you was the robot smashing the bottle and brutally killing the photographer...the uprising begins.

"Less filling!"

"Less......Destroy all humans! Destroy!"

This is the first sign of our impending slavery at the hands of our creations. The robots have taken all the beer!
Baron @ Jun 8th 2006 3:21PM
It's people. Soylent Green is made out of people. They're making our food out of people. Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle for food. You've gotta tell them. You've gotta tell them!
Taylor Alexander @ Jun 8th 2006 3:24PM
And all at once, the possibility of a robot uprising was dashed away, as most robots decided to stay at home, watch TV, and drink beer.

I think this might beat it, http://www.vexlabs.com/vex-bottlebot.shtml the Lego Bot looks like it needs to have an open drink, this one will pour it and serve it.

"Upon results of user polls, beer manufacturers alter their current commercials of girl infested marketing to… robots. This is to appeal to their more abundant audience of geeks and nerds who lack social skills and feel more comfortable with said robots."

There's a robot in this picture?

Here's to you Mr. Beer Pouring Robot Creator.
*Mr. Beer Pouring Robot Creaaaatooorrr!!*
While your classmates are out chasing women, you're sitting in your room containing thousands of dollars of high tech equipment and a beer...... alone.
*Noooo love for geeks now...*
Sure you could just pop the cap and pour a beer yourself like everyone else. But you're smarter than that, and you're out to prove it.
*get a life, get a life, get a freaking life man!*
So who cares if your creation spills a little here and there, you've conquered the task at hand and now have an icy cold... half a beer to prove it. In the battle between man and machine, you're a beer guzzling winner!

The vacuum bots, the med bots, the battle bots... (gasp)for godsakes! Even the ANIMAL BOTS!! It all leads TO THIS... and no one EVER SAW IT COMING?! It's genius... pure, supreme, ultimate GENIUS! I can say now our children's future is secured.

1) "It's supposed to go in the glass not on the table you idiot! What a waste!"

3) An automatic beer pourer? And you're wondering why were the fattest country in the world?

Guruboy @ Jun 8th 2006 6:16PM
Martin has a good point.
One time, I had an open beer in my hand, and instead of having to fit it into a robot and press the button and make sure it was lined up, I poured it into the glass myself!

As Aibo's master prepares to pour himself a tall cold one in preparation for watching his favorite world sport, the RoboCup, he hears a news story that announces the price of the PS3.

Sadly, Robotis broke the 4th law..
The 4 laws of robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
4. A robot must not allow beer to go to waste.
