Beer Can Transformer Robot

 In the U.S., beer fetching robots are quite popular, but here we have a beer can that does not need to be fetched. It can walk over to you! Although, there's no liquid inside - at least not yet.

 It's made by Ron Tajima (@longjie0723) who professionaly is an expert on legged robots. You can see his earlier hobby work  here (Wiimba) and here (Pacmba).

 Also, it's fun to see how much his son has grown!

 Thanks Ron!

Nice! Next step - make an automatic jar that can be opened only by the remote. The mechanism should not be percievable.. just like the can of this robot.

Bonus points for making it password protected :).

Great Robot !!! Loved it !
