News Arduino-Powered, Robotic Serving Tray Won't Spill Your Beer

[Admin]

This serving tray stays upright thanks to a little help from an Arduino Nano and a custom script that makes adjustments in real-time.

Why didn't he actually test it with a few pints of beer? Don't think the reaction time is good enough, add some actual weight and it'll spill it easily.

It is a proof-of-concept prototype, seemingly quite an early one at that too. Though from the overall tone of the thing, I think it was mostly sarcastic.

Hi peachpuff and thank you for the comment. We actually have a video with real beer on the tray. Please check our channel or you can see it directly here:

This was only the "Aftermath" video to show more detailed how this device was build. But you are right, this device is getting slower with a lot of weight on it. The reasons are the used components to overcome the inertia. With more stable materials and stronger motors, the device could accelerate with weight as fast as you saw it without the weight.

Best regards,

Interesting solutions to a problem facing everybody, the mill looked interesting but why spin it and not use it like a gimbal?

There will be soon an interessting video about the Beer Mill as well
