If you have some intense raspberry wild ale fermented with bretanomyces, how will you prevent that raspberry and bret from contaminating the main tap, and ruining all your other pours?!
Good point. This guy does mostly IPAs and NEIPAs, so not exactly his hugest concern. He solved the potential problem there with hop particles with infline filters in every line. Really living up to his motto "Overkill by default".

Still a huge concern. I cannot overstate this. If you put one beer on that is contaminated or infected, your whole line contaminates every pour from your other 8 kegs.
If I were a brewer, my beer would never go through that tap. I'd make sure of it.
My local craft brew pub cleans the line after a keg is done. They use Star San and water mix I believe and run at least 2-3 gallons through the line, then a rinse, before putting on the next keg. You're exactly right, this idea in idiotic.
Ok so as a beer snob: HELL NO
How do you plan on preventing contamination?

This is a horrible idea.

I know this is old, but it looks like there's an extra valve at the end, probably to flush it with water between uses.
Im not sure but with a rotating mechanism and some more over engineering this could be done just with one servo
