Beer-Pouring Robot Is Reason to Knock Back a Cold One

Know when to say...great idea.

This video, from way back in the Internet dark ages of 2006, captures a robot that pours beer.

The robot is hardly perfect and takes some time to get the frosty drink in the glass, but, c'mon, how cool is this? Maybe in the last nine years, the robot has honed its approach and fills a glass as quickly as we empty it.

When the machines take over, we hope the first thing they take over are the taps at our favorite haunts.
