Gaston
is a drink delivery bot, based on the simple line-following technique.
It was built by Chris Veigl, and here is a link to his how-to build pdf (in german)
In the run-up to ROBOEXOTICA 2005, it was decorated by Magnus Wurzer.
Gaston is capable of fetching premade drinks from a dispensing station.
When an empty glass is placed upon him, he starts off toward the "bar" following a black line on the ground.
After receiving the cocktail from the automated tap Gaston turns and comes back carrying refreshment.
