Beer launching mini-fridge!

I kinda want one.

Have you ever gotten up off the couch to get a beer for the umpteenth time and thought, "What if instead of ME going to get the BEER, the BEER came to ME???" Well, that was how I first conceived of the beer launching fridge. About 3 months and several hundred dollars later I have a fully automated, remote controlled, catapulting, man-pit approved, beer launching mini-fridge. It holds 10 beers in its magazine with 14 more in reserve to store a full case. It is controlled by a keyless entry system. Pressing unlock will start the catapult rotating and when it is aiming at your target, pressing unlock again will stop it. Then the lock button can be pressed to launch a beer in the selected direction.

I just made his machine obsolete by moving my mini fridge next to my couch.
Dang, sorry, guy.

Very interesting! Gadgets are cool, especially when they're homebuilt.

Needs to be bigger so as to hold more in the magazine.  Also needs to work on one that will handle bottles.

I see that they went with the lite beer and fast option over heavy and slow.

Does it come with diapers (like crazy space chick wore) so you don't have to leave the couch until you've emptied the ten beer magazine?

Hmm. I'm not sure I'd want glass bottles flying around my living room at high speed.

Think of the you could have if you friend loaded crappy beer in it.  Less hassle in getting the damned cat off the couch where she doesn't belong anyway.
