iZac doesn’t need to hear your sob stories. No, this Arduino -crafted bartender just desires to make cocktails, ordered through a tablet-based drinks menu. The bar patron can then place a tumbler at the digital scales, and iZac will measure out within the prescribed quantities necessary for the meatsack’s collection of poison. The liquids are handled by aquarium pumps and laser-cut pinch valves, with accuracy to within one gram (0.035 ounces). Sadly, the bar bot’s repertoire is proscribed by six bottles, arranged on two turntables. Risky drinkers can plump for the ‘I’m Feeling Lucky’ option, which creates a randomized drink of 3 (possibly identical) liquids. See the way it all comes together in a noisy, appropriately shady-looking bar after the break.
