When we first attempted to make a robotic bartender, we had an initial goal of making the product affordable for many. Obviously manufacturing efficiencies, and procurements savings could help save money, but our first prototypes were built using off-the shelf parts paying full retail costs. Similarly, if you’re thinking of designing or making your own...
If you’re looking to make a DIY Liquor dispenser the Sir Mix a Bot Kit might be a great option for you. Included in the kit is a host of parts and a complete instruction set for everything you’ll need to make a completely automated robot bartender. Alternative DIY Liquor Dispensers Of course, we understand...
Using a CAD program to design a virtual bartender into a real life robotic bartender: Before we set-out to build SirMixABot (the world’s self proclaimed greatest robotic bartender) we designed countless iterations in CAD. If you’ve been hiding under a rock for a while, CAD is computer aided design. In the most simple case its...
Making an Automatic Arduino Bar: The Code The Arduino is the perfect micro controller for building your own automated bartender. We’ll walk through exactly how and why to use an micro controller to make your own Arduino Bar. What the Arduino Controls in the Bar: The Arduino platform is very popular. While building custom low...
One of the most important mantras in building SirMixABot was making a product so painfully simple and easy to make – that we could actually bring it to market. We avoided injection molds, welding processes, or overly complicated motors and PCB assembly. The reason? A quick google search revealed that almost every other automatic bartender...
If you’re space constrained, one of the best means to store all of your bar equipment is with a wall mounted liquor cabinet. Even if you don’t choose Sir Mix A Bot as the best means to store and hang your liquor cabinet, we review some of our favorite designs. Key Criteria to Consider for...
We set out to make Sir Mix A Bot an affordable project that can quickly come to life. Surprisingly, most of the electronics can be sourced relatively easily and off the shelf. With known microcontrollers (Arduino), wifi chips, and stepper motors – one of the most costly components to the bar itself is the frame....
