Inspiration

We know from experience that erev Shabbos can be stressful, especially when you are working on Friday. It's hard to work while running to and from the kitchen to check on the food.

What it does

The Treat Transporter uses a lever arm to slide food into the oven. The arm is controlled by an app, which has a timer on it so the user knows when to "dump" the next dish into the oven.

How we built it

We used arduino software to create the lever arm, and MIT app inventor to create the app that controlls the arm.

Challenges we ran into

We had trouble getting the arduino to work, but after a debugging process, we were able to get it to work and activate the lever.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of applying our previous knowledge in arduino software and MIT app inventor to a totally new project that we've never done before. We bumped into numerous hurtles, but we got through, got our code to work, and came out with a usable prototype and idea!

What we learned

We learned that when debugging, we need to look at every aspect of the code and the hardware to find the problem. We also found that working together and splitting the work makes the process of creating our project more efficient and also more fun and enjoyable!

What's next for Treat Transporter

We only had one motor, so we only created a prototype for sliding food into the oven, but our next step is to code a lever to make the food exit the oven when it is finished.
