Gatorade Maker

Overview

Have you ever tried a Gatorade mix and you end up with not enough powder or too much water? The solution to this would be "The Gatorade Maker". This project aims at creating a system that pours powder and water to make a Gatorade mix. The user will enter how many ounces of Gatorade they desire. The system will dispense the powder and water in an appropriate amount in the glass. This will allow you to be worry-free about the accuracy of the water and powder you will have in your drink.
