We want to create a BarBot.

Initial Goals

  • 6 Optivends for alcoholic drinks
  • 6 dispensers for soft drinks
  • 6 dispensers for misc items (olives cherries, umbrellas, etc...)
  • High through put with multiple drinks simultaneously

Target Cocktails

  • Gin & Tonic
  • White Russian
  • Margarita
  • Mojito

ToDo

  • Block diagram
  • Decide on a budget
  • Make a makespace community project


Idea Scratchpad

  • Force sensitive resistors for glass detection & liquid quantity
  • Carriages with scissor lifts to activate Optivends (and thus everything else)
  • Circular track/path to automatically reuse a carriage.
  • Ways of bypassing unused dispensers to allow for drinks leapfrogging.
  • Raspberry Pi for main controller, Arduino-likes for carriages
  • 3D print our own peristaltic pumps?
