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?
  • 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
