Basic Features

This is the minimum requirements to have a working version

Hardware

• Easily extensible to be able to add more bottles later
• LED illumination of the spout

Software

• Web interface that can be accessed from a nearby computer
• Web interface that can be used from our phones
• Some sort of interaction with our IRC channel
• Logging of which drinks are made, and how many shots are dispensed

BarBot Accounts

• http://twitter.com/barbot - Eventually BarBot will post stuff to twitter automatically
• http://flickr.com/photos/barbot - We can use this account to host all the photos of the project to save bandwidth
• barbot@ymail.com - Only used to get the flickr.com account
• barbot@pin13.net - This is the address we should publish

Plan of Action

• Aaron will design the relay board and build one in his electronics class at LCC
• We need to decide on which solenoids to use and actually buy a couple to try them out
• After we figure out how to control the solenoids, we'll need to get a CO2 tank and start playing with bottles

Shot Conversions

• 1 shot = 44.360ml / cc
• 1 shot = 4.43 cl
• 1 gallon = 85.334 shots
• 1 shot = 3 tablespoons
• 1 shot = 1.5 ounces
• 1 cup = 5 1/3 shots
