PancakeBot is every breakfast lover's dream. For those of us that simply aren't satisfied with the regular circle flapjacks, PancakeBot is here to rescue us. By inputting a design the user wants into a computer, the robot can make incredibly detailed breakfast pancake designs.
As kids, many of us were fortunate enough to have parents that were skilled in the art of pancake making, but for those that weren't as lucky, there's PancakeBot. The robot follows the design that the user inputs down to the letter, even going so far as to trace the exact order of the lines that were inputted. In the video we even see something as difficult as the Eiffel tower made into breakfast goodness easily.
