Gizmodo — Remember when R2-D2 was modified to become a mobile bar in Jabba's barge? Here's the robot that Jabba should have used.

The BaR2D2 is a radio-controlled bar-bot, with a "motorized beer elevator, motorized ice/mixer drawer, six-bottle shot dispenser, and sound activated neon lighted", because alcohol delivery is not complete without psychotropic light effects. According to its creator: The concept for BaR2D2 was born when a friend showed up to an event with a radio-controlled ...

It's safe to say BaR2D2 is the world's finest robot bartender
Boing Boing Gadgets — Jamie Price built this badass radio-controlled mobile bar he's dubbed "BaR2D2", with sound-activated neon lighting, a motorized ice/mixing drawer, six-bottle shot dispenser, and a "motorized beer elevator", whatever that is.

BaR2D2 is the king of the booze-serving robots
DVICE Atom Feed — If you're going to build yourself a robot, you could build one to do some manual labor for you. It would make sense, putting difficult tasks into the hands of an unfeeling robot. But that's really no fun. Why not build a party robot to serve you drinks? Wouldn't that make the effort a bit more worthwhile? That's just what Jamie Price did, building the BaR2D2, the most awesome bartending robot I've ever seen.

BaR2D2 a DIY Party Bot For the Masses
The UberReview — BaR2D2 is is without a doubt the coolest bar bot I have ever seen. There have been a few over the past year, but most were mere beer pourers (which is no small feat). This is more of a serving bot and comes with “a motorized beer elevator, motorized ice/mixer drawer, and six-bottle shot dispenser.” If you like it so much that you want to build your own, there is a very good Instructable. As for me, this is going on my list of things to get other people to make for me if I ever fall into an enormous pile of money (you never know, it could happen). [Instructables via Gizmodo] ...
