So, somebody has decided to attach a minifridge to an air cannon, to fire beer.  And not just to fire any beer, to fire four different types of beer.  And he even designed a smartphone app for it that allows you to select the beer type, aim the cannon at yourself, and then fire the beer at you where either you’ll catch it or receive a head injury the emergency room will find hilarious.

Yes, it’s the perfect beer cannon, technically.  We say “technically” because Budweiser and its variants are not actually beer, but we’re sure the creator of this beerbot will discover that decent beer can be found in cans (we recommend Oskar Blues, especially the joy in a can that is Old Chub).  Slide of the nearly perfect device on the next slide.

OK, this just has to be said, because nobody else will. No, you do not love beer if you made a computer out of a Budweiser keg, and actually kept the Anheuser Busch logo. The French make fun of Budweiser. The French. Have you had French beer? Go try some, and you’ll realize just how terrible that is.

Anyway, this odd combo of nerdery and fratboyism came from an unidentified individual who took the keg, painted it black, and made it a computer case. We have almost no information about this; nothing about the computer, nothing about the guy who made it, really, we’ve got nothing but pretty pictures of this computer (much prettier than the one in the picture to the right), which we will now share with you.

Don’t you hate it when you leave a perfectly good can of Guinness just lying on the ground somewhere?  But leaning over to pick it up is so hard.  And poking at it with a stick to roll it home is so inconvenient.  There has to be an easier way!  And there is, with Yale’s remote-controlled helicopter which has a robotic hand that autonomously grips and balances a boozy payload of up to four and a half pounds.

The hand helicopter can carry objects that weigh up to two kilograms [~4.5 pounds], at speeds reaching 130 kilometers an hour [~80mpg]. The robotic hand, which is made of a flexible plastic, is operated by a single motor that controls four fingers. The simple, lightweight design of the hand also absorbs vibrations when the hand grips an object, letting the helicopter hover stably. [TechnologyReview via NextBigFuture]

They haven’t actually tested it at that top speed yet, although the $3,000 helicopter is supposed to be able to reach that speed.  Well, what are you waiting for?  That beer isn’t going to fly itself into my stomach for breakfast. I’m a blogger, damn it.  If I’m not at least two sheets to the wind by mid-morning the other bloggers are going to make fun of me.  Get it together, Yale robot helicopter.

Steve Norris of Norris Labs just introduced DVICE to his “Beverage Delivery System”, comprised of Baxter the ButlerBot and his faithful unfeeling metal companion RoboFridge.  This is easily the second-coolest beer delivery system I’ve seen.  Sorry, Baxter and RoboFridge, but you don’t have a gun.

The ButlerBot uses encoder-based navigation until he detects RoboFridge’s infrared beacon and switches to beacon navigation.  He commands the fridge to open when he reaches the approach pad (a fancy way of saying “the electrical tape on the floor”).  ButlerBot switches to line navigation to follow the tape trail to the fridge, and then docks with the fridge (they’re gay now).

Below is the proof of concept videOH MY GOD IS THAT TRASH CAN FETCHING A FRESCA?  How is this built? I need schematics, pronto.  I am so ready to trust all my beverage needs to something that looks like a Dalek.
