As if people weren’t getting drunk fast enough with the original, now you can make the game of beer pong even harder!
There’s a Kickstarter campaign running through September 22nd, 2016 for a robot style game called PONGBOT. It’s basically a motorized robot cup holder that can roam around the table, adding movement to the challenge of landing a ping-pong ball in a cup of liquid. (Insert the drinking liquid of your choice, and never play then drive!)
There are two modes for play. In Auto mode, the Pongbot will move and spin randomly in any direction at any time, so that the shooter never knows where it is going. In Manual mode, your opponent controls the motion with a tank-style handheld remote control. So it’s you against your friend or you against the machine.
What is impressive, is that In either mode, Pongbot’s sensors keep it away from the table’s edge so it won’t drive off the surface.
A pledge of $40 or more will get you your very own Pongbot set. The campaign hopes to raise $100,000 in about a month. Estimated delivery is December 2016.
Great Xmas gift idea?
