for science!
What’s the first thing a good roboticist thinks of? A robot bartender! This example is a mojito machine, the Robomoji, being shown off at the Roboexotica Festival in Vienna, Austria in November 2007. Engadget coverage.
Other nice robotic bartender projects include this cocktail-making robot at the 2007 Maker Faire, this bartender bot complete with face also at Roboexotica and BaR2D2.
The Mojito original recipe is: 1 teaspoon powdered sugar, 2 oz lime juice, 4 mint leaves, one sprig of mint, 2 shots Havana Club white rum and 2 oz club soda. Put the mint leaves into a long glass. Squeeze the juice over it directly from a cut lime. Add the sugar, then gently smash the mint into the lime juice and sugar with a muddler (a bartender’s pestle). Add crushed ice, add the rum, stir, top off with soda. Garnish with the mint sprig.
