LEGO Bartender? (Video)

It's a common misconception that LEGOs are only for kids, even though it's been documented that roughly 70% of the LEGO Mindstorms robotic system are adults with an average age in their mid-thirties. Another common misconception is that Mindstorms are only good for simple robot projects with a low level of complexity. But, at the CEBIT 2006 show in Hanover a LEGO bartender is proving them wrong.

At first we thought the robot might not actually be constructed from LEGO Mindstorms. After all, would someone use a product with such a strong association with children and use it to build a bartender?

Apparently, as you can easily see from the screenshots below and the video, this particular robot bartender is definitely built with LEGOS.
