BarBot/Supplies/Glasses
For EMF camp we're looking to serve up to 200 drinks. Actual glasses are simply out of our price range, so we need to look at disposables, unless someone has a source of hundreds of re-usable glasses and don't mind half of them going missing.
Size
Height
The important thing to note is that glasses cannot be taller than a fixed height else, they'll get knocked off the platform by the lower part of the optic mechanism. Pint glasses are too tall. Tumblers should be OK. I'll do a proper measurement when I've done the optic mechanism board with platform prototype.
Volume
A typical cocktail will have between 100 and 200 ml of fluid in it. Glasses should be able to hold 200ml / 7 UK fl.oz. / 6.7 US f.oz, perhaps a little more.
Style
Disposables come an all shapes and sizes. I'd like to have something a bit more stylish than the bog standard water cup. First, I think they must be transparent so you can see the drink (it's just not done to serve cocktails in an opaque beaker). Second, an interesting shape is a good thing.
