Innovation Thirst's Pour Master Pro

For our entry into the Redbull Creation challenge which was built in 4 days we re-invented the kegerator with the addition of a robotic bartender which can pour the perfect amount of beer every time, regardless of the size or shape of the glass. The Pourmaster Pro is a highly modified Kegerator that uses multiple sensors interfacing with an an arduino microcontroller to make decisions and give that perfect pour.

Some tuning is still necessary but the great thing about tuning this machine is there is plenty of beer to go around.


Here is the video..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2RSi4d4_Zc

We look forward to competing in July and showing our stuff.

Cheers,
