Goals

We want to try out a simple 1 bottle bot, and continue from there if successful.

Research Material

• http://www.pumpscout.com/articles-scout-guide/pump-types-guide-aid100.html
• http://www.ce.rit.edu/research/projects/2011_fall/BB/
• http://www.barmonkey.net/

Requirements

• Be able to serve a measured drink
• Do it reliably, repetitive, within ~5 seconds
• Alert when bottle is empty
• Low maintenance, preferably no maintenance at all (except for restocking booze obviously)

Part list

• Tubing (hydrofobic if possible)
• Airpump (1-way if that exists, to prevent evaporation)
• Alternatively: peristaltic pump
• Rubber plugs, conic shaped, maybe with holes for tubing? -> maybe standard lab equipment?
• Electronic Kitchenscale
• Arduino to interface with the former
• Relay to switch the pump
• Some pincher or valve to close and open the tube exiting the bottle (to keep CO2 and evaporation inside when idle)
• Bottle of Booze
