The final project assembly started this week by cutting the new model of the curved tower with the inner holes for the pumps, but it did not fit very well with the base because of a miscalculation that did not consider the space for the led string.

Nevertheless, by the end of the week we had a working prototype that could prepare cocktails automatically just by pressing a button on the touch screen. As it can be seen in Figure 15, this prototype could not stand by itself, so this design must be fixed after the holidays.

Here is a short video that shows this prototype working correctly
