Not sure if you know about the Makezine Robot Build challenge recently launched, but I would like to introduce to you one of the coolest participants there. A user named Shawn has developed this robot and I think he may be an undiscovered genius, or at least a beer-loving fellow like most guys out there. I know, I know, the ladies don't see a mobile beer refrigerator carrying an Armatronic BB gun embedded obstacle avoiding tech and laser sight as the ultimate gadget, but I am certain that guys will dig it.

I suppose this robot was designed in order to be a remote-controlled beer fridge, hence the little refrigerator unit placed on the automated wheel chair platform, but in time, neighbors of the inventor, possibly even his close friends, got very jealous of his invention and tried to harm it. This is why this robot now has an Armatronic BB gun for self-defense, a mounted camera and laser vision.

There is also an old radio, but that seems to do nothing special and sits on top of the remote controlled robot as a way to prove enemies that it is a superior technological being. Here’s a link where you can find a movie with this robot in action. It is not that enticing as it is a little bit too long, but a quick fast forward through it should be enough to realize its true potential.

Some people just have it in them for creating interesting gadgets out of ordinary objects lying around their house and I recommend following the Make: Robot Build contest in order to find out if the reincarnation of MacGyver lives somewhere near you. Perhaps you could borrow his robotic beer delivering robot. Thanks, Slashgear.
