Chur-RobotTeam Churro: Sharon Grimshaw, Maggie Su,
Louis Yi, Morgan Zheng
Revisited GoalsSafe and sturdy
All connected to one Easy to use and maintain
One container to loadCooking time preset
User choice in length and shape of churro
LogisticsSchedule
Still a little behind schedulePlanned to have two prototypes, changed to one
virtual prototype (continually updated) and one physical prototype (modified to match the virtual prototype)
Realized that we didn’t have all the parts we needed so we had to do a second round of ordering
Trouble with what voltage to use, 5V or 12VBudget (currently at $130)
Getting closer to the $250 but still on track to be under-budget

User InputMechanical: Buttons Software: GUI
Pros:Easier to keep cleanSimple to makeCons:Require Arduino pinsWhere to place within
system?
Pros:Easy to understandMore options to choose
fromLess Arduino pinsCons:Laptop near foodComplicates use of
Arduino librariesOvercomplicating user
input?
Next StepsFinish construction of the mechanical systemSolving current issues – transistors, cutting
power during holding, DC motorDetermine how to interface
