Ketchup Robot
We’ve all had that bottle of ketchup where you just can’t get the last bit of the red stuff, but would you make a ketchup robot to solve the problem?
If you are sane, then the answer is most likely, “no”. Because it would take so much effort to make a machine that would disperse the ketchup from the bottle. Instead it is far better to just keep hitting the bottom of the bottle until you are happy or exhausted, or a combination of both.
Or, you can just spend a few extra pennies and busy the squeeze bottles, which would solve the problem quite nicely.
However, if you are bored, have nothing better to do, or are a real grease monkey, then why not grab your spanner and make a ketchup robot.
If you do, please can you make it better than the ketchup robot in the above GIF. While it does a really great job of making sure there is ketchup with every squeeze, the ketchup robot fails in keeping it on the actual plate. It just ends up going everywhere!
The one redeeming features of the ketchup robot though, is that before it dispenses of the red sauce it has a pair of arms that twist around in a pop-eye style spin. The arms are a double edged sword though, because it gives human anatomical qualities to the ketchup robot. Why could that possibly be bad? Because look where the sauce is coming from!
I’m not sure if the device is remotely controlled or if it has been programmed to move from plate to plate. The downside is that you need to leave a fair bit of space on the table for the ketchup robot to ‘do it’s thing’.
Ketchup Robot – Is it worth it?
I would say that the ketchup robot is an epic fail, and should only be attempted by those who have way too much time on their hands.
