Student's waffle-making robot a hit

"Jesse Klein is in no rush to get to the patent office. His invention -- a robot that toasts, butters, pours syrup and spreads whipped cream on waffles - is both ingenious and absurd," reports The Daily Herald in Everett, Wash.

"Klein's machine toasted the waffle, and a five-pronged mechanical jaw grabbed it and placed in on a plate. A mechanical arm moved the plate from station to station - a butter drop, a syrup squeezer and a whipped cream slatherer. 'I just added whipped cream for the fun of it,' Klein said."
