Week 8 Update

Team SimpliciTea has mostly completed the 1st iterations of the electrical and mechanical designs. The 1st PCB prototype arrived this week and the overall housing of our specialty beverage maker is almost ready to be 3D printed. We have also designed a new stirring mechanism based on last week’s testing results to maximize the advantages of previous stirring mechanisms while mitigating their shortcomings.

Latest stirring mechanism

After a productive few months of prototyping and testing, Team SimpliciTea will be taking a well-earned rest over Spring break, and then returning to complete the 2nd design iterations the week after.
