Go Monty! You can do it!
This robot named Monty is a dynamically balancing robot designed and built by Trevor Blackwell of Anybots Inc. This robot has been trained to throw and catch a ball. It appears to drop the ball often, but the robot Monty does catch the ball when Trevor Blackwell throws it. I think this robot is cool because it not only balances on 2 wheels, it also is able to catch a ball with it’s mechanical robot hand and throw it back without falling over.
I know all of us love watching TV and those popular football, baseball, basketball, hockey, or even girls volleyball games. But when your really getting into the game, I mean really getting into the game, it’s just such a pain to get out of your seat and get that ice cold beer…mmm. Well now a man by the name of John W. Cornwell has discovered the solution! John W. Cornwell designed a robotic beer launcher that also works as a refrigerator. The robotic beer launcher refrigerates your cans of beer and then launches the beer cans towards where you are sitting. The robotic beer launching fridge can also be remotely controlled and can launch a can with a catapult over a 13 foot distance. The robotic beer launching fridge can even be used for soda and other can sized beverages. It holds 10 beers in its magazine with 14 more in reserve to store a full case. All you have to do is use the remote control to aim the robotic beer launching fridge and then press the fire button! Then the robotic beer launching fridge is activated and uses an elevator to grab a beer and then it sends it to the catapult which launches the beer at you perfectly every time! It is built from easy to purchase parts and could even be built by you! For those of you who like the idea of never having to get up again from you couch and get an ice cold beer, then this is the device and project for you. You could even use the Parallax Propeller chip to program is with. Basic code to program the chip can be found the the Code Vault on this website. Just imagine how much this will impress you friends especially when drunk. You could save the day with your very own robotic beer launching fridge powered by the Parallax Propeller chip! The opportunities to use this at parties are endless, and it will give you an excuse to have another party. You can’t go wrong with this one.
