Fairy Juicing Cocktail Robot

This project was built for the 2008 Roboexotica conference in Vienna, Austria where it tied for first place in the drink serving category. Here's how it was made!

Step 1 Story

Our delicious fresh fairies are hand-captured from only the finest wormwood forests of Northern Europe. We take extreme pride in offering only the finest quality fairy juice available. While it may seem inhumane on the surface, any fairy connoisseur will tell you that only sheer terror can unlock the full aroma and flavor to be enjoyed by the drinker.

Our juicer was built from a rare 19th century umbrella cabinet for an authentic look that cannot be matched by this era's artisans. We chose this specific cabinet due to the convenient fact that it is made from wormwood which keeps fairies comfortable as they inhabit our holding tank. While the cabinet is late 19th century vintage, our juicing mechanism is designed using the latest technologies available. The transparent facade was chosen to guarantee that we are not using bottled fairy juice, yet it is frosted so as not to reveal the less appetizing realities of fresh fairy juice.

Since I'm sure that was the intent, I'd call it a success. If absynthe is being derived from fairy juice... does that make this device an absynthesizer?
