By now, we’re all familiar with the complaints of how New York sucks at burritos. A graduate design student at NYU has taken the matter into his own hands, and has invented a robot that makes customizable burritos using 3D printing technology.
Unlike the TacoCopter, the BurritoBot does not appear to be a joke. Just check out this accompanying stop motion video, which hints at a future Kickstarter campaign:
Now, how long until I can train one to make me Taqueria Cancun veggie burritos, black beans/no dairy/extra salsa?

“…the Burritobot does not appear to be a joke.”
Except for the part about whole wheat tortillas, amirite?
Wait. It’s true that per square mile SF beats down NYC for best burrito joints (and I’m from the East Coast). BUT the best burritos/tacos I’ve ever had were at Taqueria y Fonda la Mexicana at 107th and Amsterdam in Manhattan. Hands down. Mouth full. Literally a line out the door every time I stopped by.

As in storybook…
I had this idea years ago, and everyone laughed at me. This will show them.
OH LOOK I’M ON UNCRATE.COM SOMEHOW
It was very nice of him to use my copyrighted robot character for the design of his logo and say he “designed the logo” . https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamai…

It doesn’t sound nice, but your links don’t work. That is some website you have there, by the way…
Looks pretty similar to me… http://bit.ly/KUqhab
Yeah, I have to agree. The first one’s shown early on are different, but there is a pretty strong similarity with the one’s around the 2:00 mark.
The beans are cooked with lard, that’s why they taste so good.
Fuckin A
It’s kitschy, so he’ll sell a billion between SF and NYC. If only he added a second stage that would wrap it for you–maybe it’ll be an attachment?
Good to see MakerSlide being used on more DIY stuff, for sure.
I feel like people are automating the wrong things. Can someone please make an android C-level executive?
They’ll never be able to do that. Programming requires logic. How could you develop something illogical through the use of logic?
Will it make good burrito’s or that baja style crap that San Diegoans go on and on about?
This is absolutely ridiculous and a complete waste of time and talent. I guess it’s okay if you live in NYC and can’t get a real burrito but let’s hope this never catches on in SF. Yay, less employed latinos in the mission… thats what we need! This is dumbest shit ever.
