R2D2 Beer Getting Machine

defectorg writes "R2-D2 Interactive Astromech Droid is coming to us this summer. Equipped with innovative speech recognition technology, infrared scanning technology and working sonar navigation, this R2-D2 recognizes 40 spoken phrases, plays six exciting games, and sings three tunes. It even has a retractable arm that lets it hold a 12-ounce beverage!
