Geeky DIY gadgets: iPhone controlled Lego contraption pours out a beer

29 October 2008 No Comment

Not only does this DIY project include my favourite Lego building blocks but it is also mechanical (moves) AND it’s controlled via an iPhone! How cool is that? As you will see in the video, this homemade contraption has been set to perform an action (in this case, bend down so that the bottle it is holding pours out) every time it sees the word “pour” in a Pownce RSS feed, very clever stuff.

Don’t expect too much though, this is just a simple gimmick, it doesn’t appear from the video as though it has any sensors to know when to stop pouring. And of course, it doesn’t know neither where your cup is, so you have to place it in the right place for it.
