Barbot meeting

Daniel S, Andrew A.

Analysis of Barbot what needs doing

Thing	Description	What is status	What will be done
25ml alacahol dispensers	Dispenses the glass bottled alcahol (Vodka etc.)	Motors work fine, needs a full test and slight clean
Mixer dispensers	CO2 carbon pressurised bottles for dispensing coke, lemonade etc.	Servos need potentially replacing after some testing. We could do with replacing CO2 gas. Maybe Soda Stream or syrup based dispenser	Need to get more Servo motors of the same type or similar and new piping for making the thing clean. Stretch goal; replace CO2
Dashes	Dispenses dashes of lemon juice etc.	Mechamism is disgusting. It needs replacing, no real way to clean due to usage. The electronics parts are reusable but only if cleaned. Bottle holder really needs replacing - wood has a lot of damage.	New pump - Daniel looking at new option. New tubing and potentially replace the bottles with something much cleaner (and easier to put in place - eg; container with little closer
Cherry Dispenser	Dispenses cherries from conveyer belt	Actually works okay, if not amazingly but no one has stepped up to fix it further.	No actions needed to work
Grenadine Dispenser	Syringe is rusty, tubing is disgusting, tap probably is not hygenic - was it ever?	Bin the lot potentially and replace with new dash system, or replace with something much better and cleaner - ideas welcome!
Lemon Dispenser	Conveyer belt of lemon pieces	Rusty dispenser coil needs replacing at minimum. Plastic needs full clean. Need testing once coil replaced with proper lemons.	Initially get new coil of wire.
Mixer	Mixes drinks	New mixer attachment needed, is rusty if not deadly to health	New mixer needed from online
Umbrella dispenser	Dispenses umbrellas	Little bit of cleaning needed / possible stripdown on the plastic bits	Clean later and test
Drinks platform	Motorised platform for drinks	Really messy even if not health affecting - really needs dissembelling	Disassemble and clean fully, minding motor and stop item
