Barbot, A Slot Machine Robot That Dispenses Alcohol Instead of Coins

By EDW Lynch on May 3, 2011

Barbot, by the NYC Resistor hackerspace in Brooklyn, is a robot slot machine that rewards players with precisely crafted cocktails instead of coins. It was built over the course of 21 days (see the build time lapse) for last year’s Hackerspace Challenge sponsored by VIMBY and Scion.
