Overview
An automatic waffle maker, with our logo somehow worked in.
Phase I
Requirements
- Automatic dispensing of batter
- Automatic timed cooking of waffles
- Automatic removal of cooked waffles from griddles
Components
- Batter hopper with appropriate batter valve
- Brass ball valve, 1", for air, water, or oil
- future thoughts: construct a kickass stargate-like iris diaphram as a valve, use the same threading that is on the ball valve
- Waffle cooker
- Cast ceramic plates with nicrome built into it
- alternative to waffle iron, more customizable
- no need to cast iron
- no need for non-stick spray
- Waffle iron with removable griddles
- Got an older free one from opticron's dad
- Needs non-stick spray applicator
- it would be great if we could avoid this as it adds unnecessary mechanics and spray would need to be applied to both griddles
- aerosol can actuated with servo?
- Cast ceramic plates with nicrome built into it
- Possible waffle removal mechanisms (needs prototyping and testing)
- gravity?
- which griddle will it come out on?
Phase II
Requirements
- Mixing of liquid and solid ingredients
- Separate mixing of liquid and solid ingredients to get a smooth consistency before further mixing
- Interchangable griddles
