KegDroid: Combining Arduino, Android, and NFC to Dispense Beer 48
mikejuk writes, quoting I Programmer: "If you are looking for an exciting hardware project, KegDroid deserves a look. It is a sophisticated system that involves Android, Arduino, NFC, plumbing and — beer. Perhaps the final stroke of genius is to package the whole thing in a Droid body. Some how the little green fella looks at home on the bar. You have heard of desktop and laptop apps now we have bartop apps to add to the list"
Details are fuzzy currently, but from all appearances this is a repackaged KegBot in a very fancy shell. (Video for those without Flash.)

Clearly you're doing it wrong.

When they get kegdroid to pour a beer without foam, then I'll consider it.
It would be faster to just pour your own beer, and with 90% less foam.

Let's just count the buzz-circles:
We got a 10!
That's like scrap-booking while sitting on a Martha Stewart chair cushion and sipping pink Zinfandel.
That's like wearing a beer hat with a chewing tabacco dispenser while noodling for catfish.

But why not go with biometric and a thumb??
I guess you could go thumb now that Arduino runs on Arm.
