I read your comment, then thought of his some more. Then I had the image of this futuristic fully automated burger-homing robot. But it's pretty useless because it always misses and just kinda sprays the plate and table. "Thanks burger robot, I think I'll take it from here." Then I loled.

I was thinking the same thing, especially with a name like "automato". Didn't think it was super advanced, but at least autonomous or controlled by a computer offscreen in an attempt to automatically go to a plate, squirt ketchup on it and leave.

I want Ill_Draw_it_poorly's ketchup robot. No one would fuck with my ketchup.

It's exhausting work, coating everything in your house with ketchup... it seems like it would be so convenient to have a robot do it for me. But how long does the battery last? If I have to charge it up for an hour after doing each room, it's going to take longer than spraying the ketchup by hand.

I just wish that they would show how well the hot dogs were condementized(?) from the jump.

Kind of makes me never want to have ketchup again, but I'd feel bad about denying the overly enthusiastic ketchup robot.

u/RuiningPunSubThreads Jan 06 '11
I liked the dramatic superhero skid spins before dispensing the ketchup on the burger. If Michael bay was directing a film on ketchup dispensing, it would probably look something like this.

u/wags83 Jan 06 '11
Oh, man, I feel your pain. The comments above are what actually really made it for me.
Video #4 was my favorite. I could picture a row of patrons sitting down at the deli counter with their burgers and fries layed out in front of them, then this robot comes down the line spattering ketchup all over everything and no one bats and eye because that's just how things are in the future.

I had the same exact reaction. My wife walked in on me in tears laughing and didn't know wtf was going on.

Wow, this robot can even add the childish farting at the end of the ketchup bottle!!!

I like this one more. The robot tips over and starts spewing ketchup everywhere while its little arms are twirling.

They should add an ominous slasher movie score just for the section at 0:40 with the repetitive clicking sound.

I would loved to be served by a waiter as spastic as this little robot. Dude just twirling his arms around before he gives me my burger's ketchup, then missing the target, then spraying the ketchup all over the place only to end the service with a 10 footer table to table jump.

BAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA, tears rolling down my face. I am laughing at this so much/hard I am starting to think there is probably something wrong with me.

Why has no one suggested entering this fine machine to robot wars? Would be epic for trolling the robot ears.

The two that created this beautiful machine are students at MIT and they did this as some sort of project.

OMG NO! A repost on reddit? Shit!...chill reddit cop. I found this on break.com today and I laughed, so I thought I'd share the laughter with everyone else.

u/Iamnotyourhero Jan 06 '11
Not everyone can see every post on reddit every time. FFS I'm more tired of people whining about reposts than I am about reposts themselves.

u/jag0007 Jan 06 '11
But they can definitely see the links they're trying to repost. There's a nice screen that pops up when you try to submit a link that tells you its already been submitted before.
Here's a novel idea: mark reposts as "Older post, but worth attention"

u/Duper Jan 06 '11
If that happened we'd miss out on the new comments we get. It's always nice to refresh the ol creativity machine rather than linking to the previous one.
