Cookie Dunking Robot

Fall 2021

If you are like me, you enjoy dunking cookies in milk, but you never seem to be able to consistently keep the cookie submerged for the right amount of time, which I methodically determined to be 5 seconds. This problem is what motivated me to create a robot that could dunk cookies the perfect amount of time every time. I used OnShape to design 5 parts which I 3D printed parts using a Prusa mini to create the stand. I then used an Arduino Uno with a script that I wrote to turn a servo motor when I pressed an activation button. With a little bit of tuning for the timing, the cookie dunker was fully operational. The cookie dunker remains a fun way for me to consume cookies and has now dunked 100+ cookies.
