Build-A-Burger | Devpost

burger maker :)

Inspiration

The central focus of our brainstorming session was: what are we all passionate about? And the undeniable, universal answer is obviously: FOOD! But the fact that we are all here at HTN means we are also passionate about building things. Food + engineering = cooking. With technology doing basically everything in our lives and the theme of this hackathon being DREAM BIG, we present: Build-A-Burger.

What it does

Build-A-Burger constructs a hamburger with your desired ingredients (buns, lettuce, patty).

How we built it

Physical burger builder contraption with recycled cardboard, 3D printed gears and gear rack tailored to specifications of the machine, motors controlled by ESP32 wifi microcontroller

Challenges we ran into

limited resources (time, hardware supplies, etc.)

Accomplishments that we're proud of

building a final project and overcoming the challenges along the way

What we learned

teamwork and collaboration
problem solving and persisting even when things don't go right
rapid responses to unforeseen problems

What's next for Build-A-Burger

We can increase the features of the machine, for example, an extra condiments contraption. By adding and modifying various components we could also make it adaptable to a variety of foods, increasing its versatility.
