BarBot

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?
• HackADay links to check out here
