SOBEaR v02 :: the responsible robot bartender

UPDATE: featured on GIZMODO,ENGADGET and MAKE! Finally, my finalized prototype of SOBEaR, the responsible robot bartender. I've added a glass coaster with a glowing status light to tell you that he is on, as well as a sewn-on patch to show you where the 'go' button is.

SOBEaR v01

I have finished my first draft of SOBEaR, the robot bartender. SOBEaR is a robot friend for anyone who does not know their own limits, or has problems controlling themselves. SOBEaR has an alcohol sensor mounted under his chin, so that the user presses a button inside his right foot, breathes into SOBEaR's face, and then watches their alcohol consumption level displayed by the color LED column in SOBEaRs chest. Following their sobriety test, SOBEaR then immediately pours a drink, a ratio of alcohol and mixer (OJ, cranberry, tonic, cola, etc), appropriate for the user at this time. click on post for more photos and words!
