Motivation

Have you ever feel frustrated have to clean up beer residues all over the table after a party? We are here to help. 'Cheers' is a automated beer pouring machine that takes any open bottled beer and pour it into any kind of glassware without spilling the foam. 'Cheers' will tilt your beer bottle and glass to a perfect angle towards each other for the pouring mechanism to occur and will adjust angles as more beer accumulate in the glassware. The mechanism will stop after the beer height reached your desired level and voila, Cheers!

Objective

1. Use 3D printing to construct the base, adjustable beer bottle holder and glassware holder.

2. Create a frame that allows dual axis rotation.

2. Laser or weight sensor to determine when the beer level has reached the users desired level.

3. Develop an algorithm to control the tilt angle as beer is poured into glassware, and when to stop the mechanism.
