Have you ever got up off the couch to get a beer for the hundredth time and thought to yourself, “What if instead of me going to get the beer, the beer came to me?”
Well thanks to the brain child of John W. Cornwell, there is now the Robotic Beer Launching Refrigerator.
About 3 months and several hundred dollars later John has created a fully automated, remote controlled, catapulting, man-pit approved, beer launching mini-fridge.
It holds 10 beers in its magazine with 14 more in reserve to store a full case. It is controlled by a keyless entry system.
Pressing unlock will start the catapult rotating and when it is aiming at your target, pressing unlock again will stop it. Then the lock button can be pressed to launch a beer in the selected direction.
I want one. This thing totally rocks. The only drawback is the cost.
According to John, he put at least a hundred hours into the build, as well as several hundred dollars worth of parts. He estimates that the price would be about $2,500.00 USD to build another one.
He should put the plans and parts list online. I’m sure he could sell them for a fair price. I’d buy them.

He’s definitely got a future with this.
I know if I had one, mine would have to have a dual magazine that would be able to choose between coke or beer via remote control.
Sorry. Miller Lite isn’t beer.
Indeed, Miller Lite isn’t a real beer but you can substitute any other canned beverage.
This thing is cool. I know you want one too
