Robot Bartender

Proposed by Raoul-Gabriel Urma <rgu20@cam.ac.uk>

I have a fun proposal that would combine raspberry pie, robotics & mobile programming.

Essentially the students would have to build a remote controlled cocktail machine like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJIkJ9x0-JQ We could have it on display during Friday's happy hour.

I think it could be challenging for the following reasons:

• build a system that takes orders from mobile phones (with a queue system)
• processes a big list of recipe from the internet (crawling)
• programming with raspberry pie and electronic components

There's even a startup who presented at techcrunch disrupt that is trying to do something similar: http://monsieur.co/
