Important Precauons
• Do not use Bartendro or its components for medical or life-crical
applicaons.
• Avoid touching electronics when possible. The electronics in Bartendro
may be damaged by stac electricity, the sort your hands can pick up
from shuing your feet across the carpet. If you need to touch them,
make sure to rst discharge yourself by touching something metal
connected to ground like a faucet or metal appliance.
• Plugging and unplugging Dispensers while the system is powered may
cause permanent damage to your Bartendro.
• Powering the miniRouter board without the Raspberry Pi and Dispenser
plugged in may cause permanent damage.
• Plug networking devices into the Raspberry Pi only. Plugging them into any
other RJ45 connectors on the miniRouter Board will cause damage.
• It is not recommended to keep clear tubing immersed in liquid for
extended periods of me. Doing so may cause discoloraon, or cause mold
to form.
• You may need to periodically recalibrate the Dispensers as the tubing
wears. See www.partyrobocs.com/docs/ for instrucons on how to
recalibrate them.
• If storing Bartendro for more than several weeks without use, we
recommend removing the beige tubing from the Dispensers to extend
tube life.
• Please drink and use responsibly.

Step 1
Build Frame Legs
Press vercal leg (B) onto the square
ng on the horizontal foot (A).
Orientaon of the holes should be in-line
with the foot. Do this for both legs.
TIP: If the vercal leg is dicult to slide onto
the ng, try ipping it upside-down and
resng it on a solid surface while using both
hands to push down on the foot.

Step 2
Aach Faceplate
The protrusions from the faceplate
(C) will t into the large holes in the
vercal legs.
Use the 8 screws (D) to aach the
faceplate to the legs.
Note: If you would like to accommodate
taller shot glasses, you can either cut the
spout so that it is shorter, or remove the
shelf where shot glasses rest and and re-
aach upside-down.

Step 3
Install Tubing and Spout
1) Feed the rigid spout and exible tubing
through the compression nuts. The end
with the angled cut goes into boles and
the at end towards the dispenser.
Make sure the tubing goes all the way
through the nut and scks out by about
1/8” on the side that says “>PP<” on it. If
the opening in the compression nut is too
small, you can use the chopsck to widen
it.
2) Aach the 2 inch, rigid spout on the
le side of ShotBot (E) and aach the
exible tubing on the right (F).
3) Tighten compression nuts so that there
are only one or two threads showing.
4) Feed the exible tubing through the
opening in the metal (F).

Step 5
Aach Wire Clips (oponal)
We’ve included some adhesive wire clips
to keep the power supply cable neatly
tucked next to the frame.
Use the alcohol pad to clean the surface
before you apply the clips (G) so that
they sck well. Remove the backing, and
aach where desired. You may use as
many or as few as you like.

Step 4
Insert SD Card
While looking at the back of ShotBot,
hold the SD card with the pins facing you
and carefully insert into the slot on the
back side of the Raspberry Pi board.
It will hang out a lile bit. This is okay.

Step 6
Power Up
Important: Before plugging the AC
power cord into the wall outlet, insert
the DC plug (see image at right) into the
miniRouter board.
Then plug the AC power cord into an
outlet for Bartendro to begin boong.
When the me comes to turn o
Bartendro, start by unplugging the AC
power cord from the wall rst.

Step 7
Insert Tubing into Bole
While Bartendro is boong up, you can
load your bole for dispensing shots.
Insert the long exible tube into an
opened bole so that it reaches the
boom.
You’ll know Bartendro is ready when the
Dispenser’s lights begin to fade in and
out, changing color. It normally takes
about 1 minute aer plugging power in
for the system to be ready to use.
If the lights stay a solid color, or don’t
come on at all, see the Troubleshoong
secon on page 11.

Connect to Bartendro
Find Network and Connect
Using a WiFi-enabled device, nd the “bartendro” WiFi network by
looking for it in your sengs, and connect to it. The rst me you
connect may take as long as 30 seconds to establish the connecon.
Open Browser
iPhones and iPads will automacally display the Bartendro user
interface (UI) soon aer they connect to the Bartendro network.
Users of Android and other devices will need to go to a web browser
like Chrome, type in any web address, and they will automacally be
redirected to the Bartendro UI.
For Windows 7 users, if Bartendro is turned on and your computer is
connected to the Bartendro network, but the browser does not load
the page, you may need to change the following seng:
• Click Start (boom le corner).
• Type “network connecons” and hit enter.
• Right-click on Wireless Network Connecon and select properes.
• Select Internet Protocol Version 4 and click the properes buon.
• Make sure “obtain DNS server address automacally” is selected.
Pour a Shot!
The main menu will display the current ingredient being served and a
buon you can press to pour your shot. Go ahead, give it a shot!
The rst me you dispense, be aware that the tubing is sll full of air,
so you will not get the full amount displayed.
To change the ingredient displayed or the default shot size you will
need to go to Admin > dispensers by rst logging into the admin menu,
see next page.

Cleaning and Maintenance
For longest tube life, you should clean all of Bartendro’s tubing aer
every use.
Step 1
Get three tall glasses or containers. Fill one with hot soapy water, one
with clean water, and keep the third one empty.
Step 2
Go to Admin > dispensers, li the exible tubing out of the liquid or
bole that it’s in and use the “turn on” buon to drain the liquid from
the tubing into your empty glass.
Step 3
Place the drained tube in your container of hot soapy water and while
holding your empty glass under the spout, press the “clean” buon.
The buon is located at the boom of Admin > dispensers. This will
run the dispenser long enough to wash out the tube.
Step 4
Repeat step 3 but with the glass of clean water. Sanizing soluons
like Star San (beer brewing sanizer) may also be used. Do not use
household chemicals.
Step 5
Finally, remove the tubes from the clean water and press the “clean” or
“turn on” buon once more to empty the clean water from the tubing
and prepare it for its next use.
You should replace the inner beige Dispenser tubing aer 500 hours
of use (actual rotaon me). If you plan on not using the bot for over
one month, you should remove the beige tubing from the pump-head.
Instrucons on doing this can be found at www.partyrobocs.com/
docs.

Troubleshoong
Dispenser is blue / green / blank aer power up
This is normal. The lights will remain in this mode unl proper
communicaon with Bartendro establishes a proper connecon with
the Dispenser(s) (which takes about one minute). If aer a minute the
lights don’t begin fading in and out, make sure the SD card is inserted
properly.
Dispenser is ashing red
The Dispenser has been over-worked and has been shut o to prevent
damage. Check tubes for blockage and press the “reset” buon
under Admin > dispensers when they look clear. This will restore the
Dispenser to proper operaon.
Air bubbles in tubes, or dripping
This is a sealing issue. You can try ghtening the compression nuts
rst to see if they were just too loose. There should only be one or
two threads visible. If that doesn’t x it, then the tubing might not be
protruding all the way through the compression nut (see page 5 for
reference).
Main Menu doesn’t allow me to pour a shot
Check to make sure there is an ingredient selected and saved under
Admin > dispensers. Also, make sure liquid level sensors are disabled
in Admin > opons.
Geng Under the Hood — Advanced Users
If you know how to SSH into a machine and want to modify the
behavior of your bot, you can do that by plugging an ethernet cable
from Bartendro’s Raspberry Pi into a wired networking router (wireless
is disabled for security). Once connected, the credenals are:
login as: bartendro
password: hackme!
