Beginning Work on the Project

After figuring out our project idea we decided to get working on it today. We decided to split our team into two groups based off our knowledge and start planning out the machine.

The electrical team consists of Brendan Ford and Alex Cushing. Together they were able to load the Raspberry Pi with the proper Linux OS and get it configured correctly. They also did some research on other people who had done similar projects and were able to get enough resources together that they feel comfortable putting together some code.

The mechanical team consists of William Jacobson and Corey Garrigan. They began drafting ideas for the loading of water and coffee grounds into the machine. They also began tinkering with the various motors and the Arduino Board.

Significant progress was made today and we feel much better about our plans for the machine.
