Remember when R2-D2 was taken by Jabba and converted into R2-D-Tray with a drinks holder so that the little droid could serve the guests on the barge? (see pic)

Well, if Jabba had seen this beauty then R2-D2 could’ve stayed unmodified and Jabba’s party would have gone according to plan as I doubt that this robot has hidden weapons.

The BaR2D2 is a radio-controlled bar-bot, with a “motorized beer elevator, motorized ice/mixer drawer, six-bottle shot dispenser, and sound activated neon lighted” and took 5 months to complete.

According to its creator:

The concept for BaR2D2 was born when a friend showed up to an event with a radio-controlled cooler. We joked about taking the idea to the next level and in the Spring of 2008, construction began.

All you’d need is a set of robot pole dancers and a robot DJ and then the droid party is go!

Instructables

hiptop3.com have written themselves an apparent exclusive.

They report that T-Mobile is working on a site (probably http://www.sidekick.com/shells) where you can create your own shells for your SideKick.

 Complete with a flash interface you will be able to upload your own images to help customise your communicator.

By the sounds of things the actual shells are going to be made by skinit.com. 

You’ll also be able to browse around and see what other people have created and vote on the design in a true social site stylee!

If only this could roll out to other phones.

Fully customisable N96, iPhone or Crackberry anyone?
