Jeeves

Jeeves, a project dreamed up by Micro, is the idea of Description::a robotic butler that will be able to bring drinks to thirsty gamers at lans.

Sensor System
The system we have chose for Jeeves V1.0 is going to be a line tracking robot using inferred sensors. The inferred system will send a signal out that will bounce off the line which in this case will be electrical tape, once the signal bounces off the tape it will be sent back into the receiver that sends a signal to the micro controller which tells the motors what to do. We are currently working on pulse modulation so we can control the speed.



Jeeves V1.0
Jeeves V1.0 will have a circular Body that inside will consist of six drink holders. the holders will be able to hold from six to nine sodas each. At the base of the holders is a slight incline plane so the drinks can roll out with out problems. Then along the outside of the holders will be two stoppers, the stoppers will raise up and down due to dispense the type of drink you want. Under the holders is another incline plane that will cause the drink to fall down into the lift system and the drink will then be standing vertically. Once there the lift system will be activated, this will make it so that the drink will be released at arms level if your sitting down.

Future Plans
Micro Dreamed Jeeves Up as a Robotic butler who can monitor its own battery power and know when it needs to recharge, when needed you can call Jeeves to get him to come find you and serve you a drink. We also hope to use voice software make it so that there will be no button pushing to get your drink all you have to do is say what drink you want. We also hope to make it be able to keep the drinks cold and be able to restock it self. No gamer wants to have to go restock something right when there in the middle of a game.

STLP Showcase


On 11/13/08 Micro & Pickle Competed at the STLP Showcase at the University of Kentucky. They had Presented the Jeeves Idea to the judges and they seemed to take a great liking to the idea. The Jeeves project is going to be at the State Showcase for STLP.
