Robocco BeerBot featured in Austria’s Kurier newspaper

Written by: Michael Keferl on July 23, 2007 at 1:39 pm | In 04 Press coverage |

It’s official: The world is in love with Robocco. Our YouTube video of the beer-pouring wonder in action has thus far tallied a solid 280,000 views, was featured in the “gadgets” section, and even managed to charm its way onto G4 Attack of the Show. Opinions are mixed, with the majority of video comments lamenting the “slowness” and “impracticality” of Robocco, thus missing the point entirely. Was YOUR beer poured by a robot? That’s what we thought.

This last weekend, Robocco was featured in all its glory in the pages of Austria’s Kurier newspaper. Many thanks to to Kurier for the nice press, and for realizing that a beer-pouring robot is cool simply because it’s a beer-pouring robot. Cheers!

  1. Hey Guys,

    I’m actually the Executive Producer of G4’s Attack of the Show (and also the guy behind tvinjapan.com)! Glad you saw the bot on the show. We actually considered getting one for the show and then I decided it’s a little too expensive for a prop as we wouldn’t really be using it FOR the show.

    Anyways, drop me a line if you’ve got anything else excellent coming up.

    Yours,

    Gavin
