08 - Hydration Station

Team Members:

Lee Lauderdale, Fabian Maldonado, Courtney Poche, Elaine Williams

Summary: 

We want to investigate a way to help people stay productive and safe while still meeting their basic hydration needs, and we intend to do so by implementing a simple system with complex motion. The mechanism we intend to design will move a cup of water from a resting position towards a person's mouth so that they can drink without having to stop whatever they're currently doing.
