DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: 

                         The first week i spend on modeling the roboter-arm,
which is 
                         build by simple tubes, cylinders and cubes.
                         The glasses were done by simply drawing a shape and
rotating it 
                         about 360 degrees.
                         The second week i spent an the animation, and on the
beer...
                         The bubbles in the beer were made with particles, and
the beer, 
                         coming down into the glass is made with meta_balls.
