There’s an Instructables page up now, collecting all of the work on my cocktail machine for the 2020 Cocktail Robotics Grand Challenge.

I call it the VK-01 Off-World Bartender. It’s a Blade Runner-inspired machine that’s a mix of sci-fi and retro. Every detail I can think of is collected in the Instructable — every line of code, wiring diagram, and 3D design.

I hope it can inspire you to build your own cocktail machine. It’s been a challenging project, but one of my most rewarding yet. It was also a great motivation for becoming more comfortable with coding, 3D design, and exploring the possibilities of working with other makers and artists. I wouldn’t take back a minute of it.

This month on Maker Update, rolling your own slot machine, a robot pal, a mask that doesn’t hide your face, a brake light for your bicycle, and building your first game in circuit python.

This month on Maker Update: A Robot Xylophone, Adafruit’s Open for Business, Painting with Light, Teletyping with Clue, Texting with Blinka, and the BBC MicroBit grows a tail.

This week on Maker Update, a flip-out mic for your machine learning pocket project, a shark mask that moves when you talk, a light-up sound board, adding Neopixels to a backpack, and the Circuit Playground Proto Gizmo.
