The Robobar automatically pours cocktails, beer, wine, juices, and soft drinks. It was featured prominently at the Nexfest consumer electronics expo at the Javits center in NYC today. Reader Chris P. reports that at the end of the product line, a Motoman worker was manually stirring the soft drinks with a wooden stick. When asked why, the man replied, "the water pressure isn't so good here, so the coke syrup and the co2 aren't mixing that well today." Additionally, as the Robobar made drinks, it made sure to tell onlookers, "Robobar only costs 30 cents an hour to operate!"
