![]() The Empire, which held sway throughout the solar system, had a problem. Only by negotiating with a key Martian ambassador could necessary access to mining rights be obtained, and this ambassador refused to go off-planet because he couldn't get a decent Three Planets. Only Martian bartenders, with their many tentacles, could make a Three Planets; only they could measure out exactly the right amount of vuzd, for instance. Would it be possible to construct a Three Planets drink with a robot?
Here's how Quinby got the information he needed to construct Guzub II, the robot bartender.
By now, you're probably wanting a Three Planets, and you're wondering when robotic tentacles will be up to the task. Take a look at the Snake-Arm Robots From OCRobotics and the OctArm robotic tentacle bot to learn more.
Compare to the Thorsen memory tube from Door into Summer (1956) by Robert Heinlein.
Compare to the robot bartender from The Stars My Destination (1956) by Alfred Bester.
