Japanese vending machine

You just got to love the Japanese vending machines!

Back home, the vending machines just pushes down the goodies when you order someting, here a robotic arm picks up a little tray, gently moves it to the opening, and waits there for you to pick it up. Then it parks the little plasic tray. First time I saw itm I could´nt beleve my eyes!!!

Any robotics enthusiast just have to love it!!!

I’ve seen various vending machines similar to this, for drinks. One had a conveyor belt to move the bottle to the side, and the other had a box built into it very similar to this one.

ahh yes … jamed vending machines, happened almost everyday at school. Funny thing was people thought that ordering stuff obove the jamed object would make it fall … they were wrong, it would just pile up and continue pilling up :wink:
