DC Tom Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 http://www.metacafe.com/watch/445498/robot...g_refrigerator/ You need the beer launcher. Of course, when the girl is here, the beer launcher is superfluous to "Honey, get me a beer..."
HopsGuy Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 From the BeerLauncher site: Here is an image of the circuit board I had made from expresspcb for the beer fridge. It uses an ATMEGA8535 for the main microprocessor, 3 intelligent H-bridges to control the motors, a Darlington transistor array to control the solenoid, and a MAX232 for RS232 debug io. I have new found respect for the engineering program at Duke. The control circuit for the solenoid is Senior year Electronics II stuff, nevermind everything else that went into it. That video brought out my inner nerd.
meazza Posted March 2, 2007 Author Posted March 2, 2007 GreatestInvention Ever! It makes too much noise though. That needs to be ironed out. But I suppose so does the girl.
Nanker Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 http://www.metacafe.com/watch/445498/robot...g_refrigerator/ You need the beer launcher. The boy did Rube Goldberg proud! Wonder if it can throw a REAL beer though.

WVUFootball29 Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Those don't come in cans. Agreed...closest you'll get is Labatts or Molson Then again, I'd prefer not to have bottles of beer heaved at me across the room
