Beer Brewing Bender Project

This is a fan built, full sized Bender from Futurama featuring a 6502 CPU powered brain to make him speak triggered by a prop remote control straight out of the show. Inside his body is a beer fermenter used to brew up a batch of real Benderbrau beer!

Now your talking my language Greg! He could turn one of the hands into a tap, and run the beer lines through the arm.
Prost and happy brewing!

Surely R2D2 would have been a better idea...

Just as nerdy and probably easier to make and you can use the wheels to move it around easier.

Have you seen the episode? In it, bender actually brews beer in his belly and bottles it at the end. It's pretty funny, though they somehow gloss over the bottle washing and sanitising... ;)

Yeah they siphon the beer out of his stomach which slowly swells throughout the episode. Funny how they add the yeast before the boil and the hops are liquid from a bottle :S

Nope.

I still like the keggorator idea, but to be true to the ep, at least temp control it. (LMK if I missed where he adds that bit...)

Cheers,
Greg
