August 01, 2006Biometric Vending Machine v0.1I was in the Chez Bob collective consciousness that kept the UCSD CS dept grad student lounge stocked. Well-stocked, too - for a campus in a city, UCSD has surprisingly few cheap / late-opening places to eat near it, probably because it was more profitable to cater to the non-student population. But it was the Stone Age then - we just used the honor system for payments (dishonor system in one or two annoying cases). Anyway, here's the latest and greatest.

I always thought that the 'finger coke' command that some places had so you could check the status of the coke machine was overkill. This is light years beyond that on the insanity scale. No get back with me when you can come up with a robot that knows I am out of beer and can run to the store and get more before I need another beer. Thats progress.
