It's really quite disgusting how many germs and bacteria are present on the average kitchen countertop. There are actually more dangers on the countertop then a typical toilet seat. Pretty scary, huh? One man named Jeff Kerr wants to change this. He has constructed the Counterbot, a 3D printed robotic device which sanitizes a kitchen counter via UV light. He has entered his design into the MakerBot/FirstBuild Countertop Challenge, and hopes to be one of the winners. Kerr tells us that he still has work to do to make it more automated and perhaps may eventually bring such a product to market.
