This is a challenge issued by friends and family. The goal here is to make a robot that can bring beverages from another area to wherever the people are , allow the person to get their drink , then leave. It does not need to be fully autonomous , even remote control is acceptable. It does not need to grab them from the fridge, preloaded beverages are acceptable. This is Ez Robot though, I believe we could do better than that! Well anyways to start the project off I am using a roomba base. I picked up a stainless steel trash can last night as a outside casing. I will show you the rest as we go

Hey Josh! Neat idea with the Peltier. I'll be following your build for sure.
Thanks Rgordon and Bret , after friends saw the Brewster video they started saying " so why don't you have a robot bring you a beer" "why doesn't your robots do something useful". Take in mind cleaning robots are not exactly what guys think is fantastic lol. So beer bot challenge it is! This one is keeping the KISS rule though , keep it simple stupid lol.
good luck with your beer bot, josh!
:-) Mel
I'm digging it Josh
Ok for the 29 dollars spent on this thing it proved to be constructed much better than I anticipated. After removing all screws the fit is very tight plus about 8 clips. Eventually I became frustrated and man handled it and put my foot right through the bottom. Booyah! As you can see there are two cans. A outside and inside smaller one. The smaller one is for the refrigerated area so it can be insulated with expanded foam or polyester Matt. I like the idea of expanded foam though because it stiffins and will reduce chances of denting the outer skin with support behind it.
