We decided to use a modified gumball machine to dispense the snacks. We are only planning on using one snack for now, unless we have extra time before May 1st. We finally agreed on how the drink side of it is going to work. We started thinking about how long we think each task may take. We now know how we will be using hydraulics/pneumatics, the Fanuc, and the plc.

Discussed and trimmed down schemes for the device. Food dispensing plans have been reduced pending a functional system for one option. Suggested plans for drinks mixed by carbonating water, mixing with syrup and dispensing has been reduced to using a pump to dispense liquid from existing containers. I've gone in search of food-grade pump devices.
