That's an interesting fridge setup you got there.

Not really - for most nerds, its way easier to build a robot than to get a GF ;)

Finally, soon I wont have to wait 10 minutes for my gf to get her ass up and get me one.....

where can you buy one? xD

[ZURA]

or you could buy a mini fridge next to your desk

[MuF123]

can't the robot make the moves faster? or does he need some sensory input while e.g. opening the fridge? it looks like preprogrammed fixed sequence of steps, so what is the restriction not allowing you to make it faster?

so thats where our tax dollars go huh....great

Or if you're one of the few lucky nerds with one, your GF is probably sitting next to you, helping you code, and waiting for a beer herself. <3
