A beer launcher, ey? What will they think of next. How about a robotic arm holding a bar of soap for the shower? :P

You should. If he hasn't, you can, it doesn't matter who came up with it, just who gets to the patent office first... :wink:

hell you could even do a variable speed launcher.. using a tv remote you could input with the channel keys and approximate ft or yard for the launcher to launch the beer... you could even include a selector for different types of beer.. and instead of a catapult use some kind of a presurised tube (potato gun style)... actually thatd prolly be a bad idea XD
