	Slow Shot David Brunnthaler, Christian Katzinger, Marcin Szostak Binge drinking may result in serious health risks. Abrupt seriousness, the belief that it is ok to call your ex at 5 am in the morning or forgetting your national anthem are just a few of the possible negative effects. In order to give you additional time to think about the consequences of the action you're about to take, our apparatus slows down the process of giving you your desired shot. After all we don't want to get you drunk. We just want you to loosen up. This project was made possible by the Department of Interface Cultures at the KunstuniversitÃ¤t Linz.

	Ka Ratte David Hell, Martin Holler, Simon Pechmann, Attila Primus, Brigitte Reiterer, Marcel Seelig, Felix WÃ¼rschinger Randomly mixed cocktails based on the movement of a small remote controlled rodent. Our customer is invited to play, afterwards rewarded with a cocktail which is mixed based on the actions of the rodent on the playing field. The end result, mixed out of eight alcoholic or non-alcoholic ingredients, will be "puked out" by the giant rodent.

	The Catgod Bot Daniel Schnitzer, Danijel Tomic The cats have created their own milk god. Yes, they did. The Catgod Bot changes milk into foam. But how can this be? It uses some kind of mixer. The cats bought it in a store. The mixer moves so incredibly fast. Oh good lord. Look at the milk, it became foam! Funny white beards we have, ladies and gentlemen. Funny white beards. If you prefer alcoholic beverages please visit "White Russian Hippie" first and sacrifice the beverage to the Catgod Bot.

	The Shotbot Katharina Petsche, Marlene Schretter, Kristina Kiremidjian, Spohie Stallegger, Lukas Haider, Franz Ferdinand Kubin, Georg Fasswald, Barbara HÃ¶fler, Kathrin Mayer, Natascha Safarik, Ksenia Pogorelova, Patricia Dobrindt, Thomas Steiner, Werner Huber, Lia RÃ¤dler, Moritz Rzehak, Michael Fellner Who didn't, at one time, want to shoot their friends? The Shotbot gives you the chance to do exactly that, with (almost) no risks involved. It will not kill your friends by shooting them per se, but by making them so drunk they will probably drop dead all by themselves. Position yourself at the Arcade Machine and your friend in front, aim, shoot, enjoy. Take care though, you might get wet (protective gear available).

	W.C. - WODKA CLOSETT (We don't give a shit!) Simon Cazzanelli, Cornelia Hackl, Marion Kamper, Katrin Kreiner, Johanna Lamprecht, Christoph Mauerhofer, Moritz Pisk, Helena Schmidt You wish every night out would end in a Wodka Closett! You ask why? Imagine it's 4 am, you're at a party, you're flat broke, but you're still thirsty for another glass of hard stuff. Go ahead, conquer the kingdom of the bathroom and get down on your knees and pray to his majesty the king: the toilet! Let yourself go and have a drink out of the royal bowl. But do not break the imperial etiquette and have somebody hold your hair back. Cheers! Step by step: take a cup, flush the toilette and fill it up. If you missed the flow and your cup is half empty, you can simply use the plunger. Pimp your drink with tasty orange or apple juice, ruby Brenadine or Blue Courasau if pure 'Toilet Wodka Water' is too strong! Wodka Closett - We don't give a shit. Facebook

By doing this, sensors which are programmed with Arduino boards will be activated and connect with the drinks dispenser which squirts out alcoholic egg nog.

	Benny the Booze Organ Ryan Finnigan Our robot is a drink mixing booze organ otherwise affectionately known as "Benny the Booze Organ". It uses IR proximity sensors instead of keys. Each note corresponds to a different ingredient (8 notes, 8 ingredients). As you move your hands up and down over the IR detectors they send midi data to a laptop that then sends corresponding control data to servo motors connected to valves, which release the correct (or incorrect) ingredient.

	LayerBot Bernhard Kubicek It features three self-created peristaltic pumps that will fill a shot glass with a layered drink, i.e. a B52. Basically a stick like platform with some electronics and the three tube-outlets is lowered into the shot glass, the height of the glass and the bottom level is measured by infrared-reflex-couplers. Then, liquid A is poured, until 1/3 height is reached. While pouring, the platform is elevated, so that the outlets are at a small, constant distance to the liquid's surface. Thereafter, the same procedure is done for liquid B and C.
