Just when you thought beer-drinking couldn't get any better, along comes the Autonomous Beer-Opening Robot, or ABOR.
Though it may be useless to wine drinkers, ABOR automatically pops the tops on beer bottles.
It was built by Jean-Phillipe Clerc, a mechanical engineering master's student at the University of Florida, as part of the school's Intelligent Machine Design Laboratory class.

i don't think you could find strong enough batteries to keep one working at a drop zone! it would probably go like a bat out of hell for an hour and then have a nervous breakdown.

My dream girl is about 3 feet high with a flat top on her head to rest my beer on !!
Danger could be my middle name. But it's Paul.

Beer drinking's the only discernable past-time that seems available in Gainesville, so why not...
Although the DZ is only 15 miles from campus, so maybe that has someting to do with it.....
