…At least, as long as PR2 doesn’t pick the Bud Light.

Funny you should mention that. In the first run there was a bug where it mistook the Mirror Pond for the Bud Light. The bug was fixed quickly, as the developers only drank beer that was delivered.

Is PR2 eligible for a beer? (is He/it 21+ already????)

It will be fun to see PR2 shake some cocktails and margaritas.

I can totally imagine PR2′s serving Beer at the Local bar by 2025.

I’m amazed to see good beer from my state (Oregon) all the way down in the Bay Area.

Is this a fridge made for beer? Or bottles in general? *want*

Using a bot for mixing cocktails and stuff semms nice. They should be able of making always the same mixture.

But i hope PR2 will get a bit smaller (maybe it’ll be called PR3 by then). This thing is as huge as the fridge.

@Adam: Mirror Pond is pretty easy to find down here. Good stuff.

@Hammerhead: It’s a normal fridge outfitted with a special beer shelf that keeps the beer within the robot’s grasp.
