While I was spending my Sunday trying to readjust to shifting forward one (1) hour overnight, a Bunnings sausage sizzle was out here existing in the year 3019 with a SauceBot that did exactly what you think it did: squirted sauce on snags, but with precision.

Created by the team at Connected Community Hackerspace, the SauceBot showed up at Bunnings in Hawthorn over the weekend to provide a precise amount of tomato sauce and mustard for the sausos being doled out to hungry punters.
It’s pretty well known that the sauce station at any food place is a contained section of pure chaos; people somehow manage to get sauce everywhere, you never know what bottle is full enough for optimum sauce application, sometimes they get all gluey and gross at the nib and seriously affect the direction that the sauce squirts, and there’s ALWAYS a bottleneck (heh) as you wait with a sausage in hand, slowly compromising the structural integrity of the slice of Wonderwhite between the snag and the paper serviette.
The SauceBot eliminates that chaotic waiting game – you simply put the snag-in-bread into the holder, select what you want, and watch as the sauce is applied in a stress-and-mess-free way.

Look at that thing go, flinging sauce with precise, yet mildly chaotic, sweeps. I fucken love the future, and I fully welcome our robot overlords.
Certainly is an upgrade on the last sauce robot we saw.
It’s not the first time the SauceBot has been put through its paces for the sake of the snag, it also came through for some important, political action over the federal election, thoroughly saucing up the democracy sausages for voters and sausij-enthusiasts at Scienceworks.
Hell yeah, I love this so much. I’d have bought a whole bunch of sausage sangas at Bunnings just so I could watch the SauceBot do its thing over and over. I bloody hope Connected Community Hackerspace made a bucket of money off this.
