I'm Just Here for the Carnage - RoboGames 2007

So here I am in San Francisco, right on the water at Fort Mason for one of the "top geek events" in the U.S. (as proclaimed by Wired magazine).  Let me tell you, if you've never had a cocktail mixed by a robot, you haven't lived. Last night, some dudes brought in a serious robot - a biotech machine - that allowed them to make perfectly-layered B-52 shots.  Each layer was measured out in picalitres. Today, Roboexotica's Cockbot 1 is mixing and serving daquiris, Campari/oranges, and screwdrivers. This is actually Cockbot 1. I can't wait for tonight, when a flamethrowing 151 and Kahlua bot will be shooting a yard's worth of fire to ignite highly-flammible liquor. Stay tuned...
