[...] Next, robot soccer. Which I think you’ll find precisely as “cool” as that dopey robot zoo. Click the image to watch. [...]

Maybe the Japanese are making all those robots to assist their aging population (low birth rates), but I must say, if my robot took that long to pour a drink, I’d probably forget about it–and I’m only 30. A senior would probably walk away and find the beer sitting there the next day, and that robot shouting: “the beer is ready”

Nearly 4 minutes for a foamy beer… pass.

No wonder Spain (Portugal) pulled out. Fake rodents. As for Jupan Geeeesh, how long does it take? Don’t drink beer anymore but when I did that thing would have been out the window. Didn’t need a halftime to wait on one. Then again I might have made it to the end of the game. Things are a changing.

Sorry, that’s way to long to wait for a beer.

What, no humping robots? And you wonder why the boss won’t buy you an iPhone.

The robot should have at least crushed the can against its forehead.

The absolute perfect post to cut my teeth on. As a newbie I’d like to express my love of automation and beer, automatic beer, robobeer, whatever. My only problem is this silly thing takes way too long to pour a frosty mug of golden joy. I say tap that thing into a a big fat keg an get the party started. I lift a toast to the future of kegbots

I want my ‘fridge to give me a cold one without all the chatter. Seriously, It took almost 4 minutes to get a drink out of that thing. I have to wait and be lectured by my fridge now? Where’s my Styrofoam cooler?

This never would have happened if they’d built in Japan. The Japanese know how to put a robot to use.

Oh-Em-Gee, I could’ve been drinking that beer about a minute and a half earlier WITHOUT that annoying little robot!

Has it really reached a point where we’re too lazy to actually do the work involved in getting drunk?

The Portugeuse need to throw in a couple Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots to mix up their cyber-Devonian Sea floor exhibit with its mecho-trilobites and transistorized brachiopods.

(Is that sea foam or beer foam I’m longing for?)

Might be an urban legend but someone said it was ‘too violent’…….it would fit the pattern over there for that to be the case.

They totally need a Battlebots league. What ever happened to that? Jamie, Adam and Grant on Mythbusters all used to do that show.

What? 45 Robots confined to a space around 22 m2 with 4 meters at its higher point. This is an outrage! Where is PETR? Better known as People for the Ethical Treatment of Robots…
