BarBot is this weekend!

I know there are plenty of options for your entertainment dollar this weekend, but if you like cocktails and robots, you might want to get tickets to one or both nights of BarBot 2013

http://www.robogames.net/barbot

It's at a new venue this year, SomArts (www.somarts.org), but the organizers fully expect it to sell out. Tickets are $25 in advance. Note the show was just moved up (yesterday) to 7pm-12 midnight for both Friday and Saturday

That's Friday March 1 and Saturday March 2, to be perfectly clear.

ThinBot will be there, looking quite a bit shinier than at his debut at BarBot 2012 (and there have even been upgrades since Gallifrey, if you saw him there).

So what all have you done to him?

The software is tightened up and he's got twice as many recipes now (check out http://www.webtender.com/cgi-bin/imbselect to find out what you can make from any given list of ingredients).

Between the dates of BarBot and Robogames last year, I got the new pumps, added the lighting and bell effects, and improved the pouring algorithm.

For BarBot this year, I finally got the top panels shortened slightly, and while they were off, sandblasted Art Deco motifs and pump numbers into them. We also replaced the final drain fitting with a larger one to make the drain more reliable.

For Robogames (in April), I'm halfway through building the solid aluminum chiller unit that will replace the goofy giant cocktail shaker.

There have been upgrades? How wonderful!

Fey and I are planning to be there either one or maybe even both nights. Thanks for the heads-up on selling out; I'll pre-order tix today.
