You sir, win on so many levels. Adding the RBF song to the mix just won you a blank check on my behalf.

I've been wanting to build something like this for years. Great job!

the best arduino project ever!

It needs Jarvis's voice from Iron Man "Getting drunk are we sir?"

absolute GREAT choice of backround music! Beer by reel big fish

This thing is awesome. I met you at the virginia airport after our flight got canceled!

it can never replace moe with his warm smile and clean glasses , ......wait !

this is awesome. thanks for sharing such a fine work!

Great work! My respect!

Coolest arduino project i have ever seen

I wasn't sure if there were any higher volume ones out there. The ones I use are typically for very fine metering. Thanks for the info.

Very very very cool! Did you use a blender to mix the whole thing?

That is just awesome... Nothing more can be said... Just awesome!

Very nice! I wonder how hard it would be to add a shaker / mixer to this setup?

That's pretty awesome man. Good job! No wI want to get into Arduino even more ;-)

first really usefull arduino project i see. BRAVO :) the next one should roll joints.

Haha LOVE IT! And reel big fish in the background!! :D

Can't wait for the final product.

If you are not planning on commercializing, please release your build plans- at least for the v1. Would love to work on a similar project!

I coded it, and I don't call my self a programmer. The code is fairly simple, and very specific to our implementation and parts used.

any chance you guys have a list of materials used to build this? and how much everything costed? I'm trying to see if its feasible to build one myself and I want to see what advice you guys have for a new build.

Oh boy Papa found what he wants for Christmas LOL

Hi, we didn't design it to be quick, we designed it to be flamboyant. Most cocktails take under 30 seconds, this cocktail was our showpiece, we added the blue Curacao at the end just to demonstrate the long travel at full speed and we liked the lighting affect with it (just so happens its actually a very nice cocktail as well). Also, the original purpose was for home use, check out the website for more info.

hey, how do you move the glas so smoth?

THIS is the future we want!

Thumbs up my friend! Oh those nights when I'm just too lazy to make drinks for everyone!

RBF. Great background music.

I haven't been to the Arduino forums but the guys on the Parallax forums are pretty decent. They support the hell out of the Propeller. I'm surprised more people don't use it. Seems that their proprietary SPIN language turns some people off but it's very powerful once you play with it for a while.

hello nice project, how can we measure how many liters are left in the upper tank and how can we pour it in the weight we determined into the glass

helow may i know what you called that cool dispenser? :)

I'm looking forward to these rolling off the factory line...

what kind of valve do you use for the bottles?

Hello, I just discovered this. What is the name of the black things on the top of the bottle (that is up side down in the video) that when pressed it releases the liquid?

This. Is awesome. Icing on the cake would be attaching a tablet with a slick GUI so that you can more awesomely choose what you want, and also quickly create new drinks.

You read my mind... yeah looking into this. Currently rewriting the console system to use a .netmf board, and still use and arduino to run the low level mechanics. Once this is sorted, should be pretty easy to replace the .netmf board with an android tablet using the Android ADK. Started using a .net board cos it seemed easier to use and SD card and process XML so I can have the cocktail definitions in xml files etc.

Have you not seen the picture of the back panel on the website :)

true genious!

I need to replicate this.

I want one. Now where can I order this great device......

so you built this amazing machine ?!! i wanna buy one if possible !!!

Had to google that, now that would be awesome!

which linear actuator are you using to move the glass ?

Will you be producing any plans in the near future?

I want one like now!!!

what if you want it shaken/stirred?

I was thinking more for a production machine. For a personal machine, the solenoid valves are fine. As a side note, I purchased some pumps from a fish supplier for around $ 15.00 each with an attached 24VDC brush type motor. I can't remember the link but if you search for 'fish peristaltic pump' you might find it.

What is called this feeder between glass and bootle?

Yay, Reel Big Fish. I like this idea even more

Amazing!

wicht Linear Servos you use

Are the code and build instructions available? I would love to build this myself! I have an Arduino already (gotta love these things!) and I just need you're code and blueprints please! Probably would pay a few bucks for the code if needed!

It's so amazing I gotta make one lol

Where do i find the used valves?

A must have! Please let me know if you put it into production. Put me down for one! Seriously...

Very slick!

I fully agree. The code running this is fairly simple for just about anyone that calls themselves a programmer. Dylan might need to get out more :)

Neat project - I'd investigate using low cost peristaltic pumps for each bottle and piping them all to a central location. You could use a stepper on each pump to meter the liquids to high precision. The slide, while fun to watch, is unnecessary and a source of maintenance in the long run. With the low cost of micro-controllers and stepper drives, you could easily dispense liquids from every source needed simultaneously.

AwesomeAwesome Awesome dear Santa AWESOME xD

Hey Mate, im a year 12 systems student who is required to make a final arduino project as my assessment for the year, is there any way i can contact you to discuss the cocktail machine, the code and the process! Thanks Lachie

On their website they say they are not releasing any parts list or blueprints as they are working on a Version 2 that they are trying to commercialize

Well, I know what I'm building for my 4th year control systems project....

Watch out, we got ourselves a badass over here!

But can it make a good Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster?

Can you make it say "Would you like some more?" like the bar tending robot from the Fifth Element? I believe this would be a key selling point.

Was the drink an El nino ? pineapple juice, peach schnapps, vodka, blue curacao, soda water, orange juice

what kind of this valve ?

This is great :D!

nice, you know how to get rid of the top part (i.e. the hole you have to use for airflow)? you replace the dispensing tip with a similar piece but build one off the same design they use for shotgunning beer bottles called a "Beer Bing" it's like the beer bong but you have two openings, one for air using a tubing connected inside going to the top of the liquid base connecting it with the air to the outside, and one will be for the dispensing. VERY awesome invention though other than that!!!

I'm curious why you chose WinPLC? He certainly doesn't need an industrial automation platform for this device. I'm sure they're not going to be running it on any factory floor I've seen.

what about the project price ? have you a value?

What's the music in the background???

how is the name of this soundtrack?

yay, a new robot that will someday take our jobs!

well this is awesome

O La La...Love This..Want One For Me...

Can the person who built the Inebriator make a machine for that too?

WinPLC is inline with his idea of "keep the code for yourself". Arduino is about benefitting from the community and giving back to the community. My post was dripping with sarcasm. Anyone who looks at a production effort like this machine and thinks "keep the code for yourself", doesn't understand how minuscule the code effort is and will never actually produce anything but internet comments.

WHERE I CAN BUY THIS PLEASE, ILL BUY IT NOW.

how is it possible to create a business with these machines?

but will it blend

So much better than a Replicator ;)

what type of lights have u used in this project

How is he getting the vertical movement for the cup?

Yeah, as much as I think Beer by RBF suits this video, it was a mistake having music in the background. New videos will be without music. BTW, this video was also uploaded separately to facebook (the.inebriator.info), it probably isn't blocked on there.

But I think we're all left asking one question: Does it come with a Roofies button?

Would you rather have it be slow and get it right or quick and get a wtf is that?

Điều gì làm bạn sử dụng cấu trúc để nâng cốc?thanks

how does the valves work

Would a peristaltic pump be cheaper than a (solenoid) valve? I'm investigating how much it would cost to make this myself and googling the peristaltic pump did not show an attractive price, especially if 1 is needed per bottle.

Eu produzi uma pra mim, com estrutura de alumínio. Em breve postarei um vídeo dela. Me inspirei na Inebriator e em outras já feitas. Se pesquisarem vão ver vários. Inclusite uma foi financiada pelo kickstater feita com estrutura de acrílico 10mm. Abraço!

can you give as more information like wiring and code

Can you tell us the title of the background music, please?

Skip the ice and run it again? :) unfortunately to add the "tadaaa" factor would be more complicated than the rest of the machine combined. We are working on it though.

where or how can i buy it? take my money!!!

love it #arduinomachine

It would be awesome to add more rails to the machine, so it could make more than one drink at once.

i remember that!:D but i check the solution on the internet :P

cool

Make a pianocktail, just like in the book "Foam of the Daze" by Boris Vian !

haha cool ! I want one ! lol
