Mini fridge beer cannon
iPhone-controlled beer cannon is the robot friend of our dreams - now with video!
How do you create awesomeness?
- Old mini-fridge
- Webcam
- Beer
- iPhone
This guy has repurposed an old mini-fridge into a beer-firing drone, which can accept instructions on beer brand, temperature, and destination, before launching it at the target with a force of 50psi.
An embedded webcam assists the iPhone user in aiming the throws, while it's also said to record every toss and tweet it out for posterity as well. It is controlled by an iobridge via a web based iPhone interface and shoots the beers from an air cannon in the housing.
Features
- Vends 4 types of beer
- Broadcasts temperature
- Ability to adjust temperature via iPhone
