Hi All, and Fred.

Thought this might be appropriate, especially considering Fred's sig (more beer).

A couch potato problem.

Problem... How to get another beer from the fridge without getting up of the couch?
Easy with a few motors and a microprocessor board...

My first thought was... The idle rich.

Then i thought hang on its a tatty little appartment.... The Idle.

Then i thought, he still has to open the fridge door first and then close it again after, if he wants cold beers making it 2 trips to the fridge for the one beer as opposed to the once if he hadn't bothered his arse to make the gismo in the first place. LOL  :lol:   ... The Idle twit.

good laugh tho. :clap:

Oops  :oops:  just realised the thing works with the door closed. Still a mega waste of the dude's time tho. LOL  :lol:

If fred made that, the thing would deliver the beer by helicopter!

Interesting project though.

Someone has already suggested that he could have just moved the fridge next to the sofa :lol:

Yes Fred, using the mouth is depicted in the Kama Sutra, page 643.
(It's a very nice picture actually.)

Oh! :shock: .......  What a give away. :oops:  :oops:

Looks very entertaining, :clap:  but being the cynical old bastard that I am, I have two observations.

1/ There appears to always be water in the bottom of the cups, presumably to absorb the energy of the falling ball and stop it bouncing out of the cup.

2/ Taking it that there is water in the cups, why don’t we ever see any splashing up or out of the cup when the ball presumably falls into it ? :?:

I used to be a killjoy, but now I’m just cynical. :P
