Re: Vex bottle opener

Yeah, we took the IR receiver chip from this year's first FIRST hint and put it to very good use. We hooked it up to a VEX robot in such a way that you could, without changing remotes, be watching the football game, then drive the robot over, pick up a beer, drive it back, and give it to you. I've never spent so much effort on being lazy, but I think it'll be a big seller.
