The robot we've all really been waiting for...

Admit it. The real reason behind you interest in robots is your dream of having one that will fetch you your beer. Well, it seems that your dream may have finally came true. Jabanese brewer Asahi designed the Robocco BeerBot as part of a contest they were running. It keeps your beer chilled, then opens and pours your beer on command. You end up with a perfectly poured 2/3rds of a pint. You can get your own slightly used BeerBot for only $799 + $99 Shipping. [Link] (via)

Finally! You can own your own R2D2!

Direct from Industrial Automaton comes this scaled down version of the Astromech droid made famous by the documentaries collectively known on Earth as "Star Wars." This little R2 unit is ready to obey your commands - voice commands, that is! Just like the larger version of R2 you know from the flickers, this R2 needs nothing but some tender words and he'll do what you command. [Link]. Also available from Amazon.
