Every one likes Bender, right? What about a Bender that brews beer? This was done on Futurama in the episode “The Route of All Evil”. Simon built his own Brewing Bender and stuck a homebrew kit inside. He did his research by checking several episodes to get the physical dimensions correct.

Benders brain is referenced in one episode as an MOS Technology 6502. This chip was actually first designed in 1975 and was used in the Apple I and II as well as the Commodore VIC-20. Simon used this chip to to play samples of Bander’s voice.
