bar2d2

R2D2 knockoff, titled bar2d2…  I had high hoops hopes with this one, but tits it’s okay.  I can’t figure out if this is truly a Barmonkey or just a motorized Miller-light-bot.  Me so confused long time!

I love the clean look of this Barmonkey.  The long term use of the pumps still scare me from a health perspective…

Looks pretty on the outside, too bad I can’t find any pictures of the inside.

This thing looks like an old, retro, computer.  I think it needs some buttons or dials…

After all these years….

It’s kinda freaky doing a search for barmonkey, and seeing pictures of my basement on random websites…

Funny that the guy who has the website “Life After Coffee” writes his Barmonkey UI in Java…

I love the food grade equipment, over other cheaper options…

This looks more like a proof of concept, but I love the twist on the UI…

This is awesome (for the geeky people)!!!

Barmonkey v1.0

Back in 2003, a couple kids from Harvey Mudd College built a Barmonkey.  The Barmonkey poured drink ingredients into a glass in measured amounts, to make a mixed drink.  Who can’t appreciate a machine that assists you in drinking, right???  It was featured on Slashdot, and that ultimately inspired me to build my own.  The original was a bit crude, using windshield washer pumps, but worked rather nicely, and inspired a small cult following.
