Kegbot: The Future of Robotic Drink Service, Now

Posted by timothy on Saturday July 30, 2005 @07:00AM from the can-it-dispense-orange-juice dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Frat houses all over the world could soon be linked up in massive online drinking games, thanks to Kegbot, a standard kegerator that uses an RFID alternative to track how much the drinkers have imbibed and feeds that data over an embedded ethernet into an online database. One of Kegbot's main creators, Mike Wakerly, says the technology can actually promote more responsible drinking because it allows people to be cut off from using the tap after the system detects that they've had more than their alloted fluid ounces." Reader bloglogic points to "more pics and instructions on building your own Kegbot at the Make Magazine web site."

Some more dead kids coming up soon!

Just what we need. The promotion of an activity that is harmful and destructive.
How many will die from alcohol poisoning now?
How many will get killed in car wrecks?
How many will kill others in car wrecks?

The lucky ones will get arrested and MAY stop in time.

What ever happened to going to school to LEARN??

My son chose to go to a religious college because of the reputation of the local community college had from drunkeness and just turning out ignorant idiots.

There should be a nationwide ban of alcohol on college campuses, public and private.

F*cking idiots......
