Once again the robots do all the work for lazy humans. 
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

Not all the work. I still have to open the beer myself.|

/goes to look if there is an app to open beer fired from a fridge...
So when the robots take over the world they will be armed with beer cannons.

That's how they will win. they will ply us with beer.
I, for one, welcome our beer chucking robot overlords!
Clearly you've never seen Maximum Overdrive.

Guess I'm nitpicky, but the article talks about a kegerator, when all it is is a beer fridge. Bah.
Too many alts to list.
It's a robot that shoots beer, all controled by your iPhone!
Who cares about video chat?
Beer Robot With Air Cannon
The kegerator is controlled by an iPhone via the ioBridge IO-204, a physical I/O board which connects web services, and can therefore be controlled by a mobile device. The first screen gives you a choice of four types of beer and lets you control the temperature. Hit the switch and a can drops into the torpedo bay.
Once your Bud Light is locked and loaded, the real fun starts. The robot switches to webcam-view, which you can see live on the iPhones screen. Buttons let you swivel the whole kegerator left and right. Press fire and a 50psi hydraulic canon launches the can at the lazy frat-boy who ordered it.
Amazing. It even auto-tweets video captured from its web cam.
As befits such a dorm-room project, Ryan worked with friends to build it. Graham Phero built the air-cannon, and Josh Lilly took care of web and graphic development. Whatevs. This is a robot, that launches beer!
V2 is in alcohol-inhibited progress. There will be cross hairs on the remote-cam images to help aiming, as well as a timer after Ryan smashed a lamp with a PBR last night.
And as if this wasnt enough of a Christmas miracle, theres actually a smart comment on the YouTube page. Here it is, from Nicholson7777 (who also suggested the timer and cross-hairs):
Your invention justifies all the money ever spent on advancing technology to this point. Im am writing you in as a Nobel candidate.
Agreed. I think Wired.coms own Beer Robot has just fallen in love.
