Inspiration
What inspired us to do this robotics application is that both of us wanted to make a project that was not only relatively simple to do, but also fun and trendy, and even interactive so people during our Maker Faire will be able to test it out themselves and even earn a sweet treat after. Capybaras are known as one of the friendliest animals on earth, and during this time, the animal is trending a lot on the internet. So we combined that with a fun candy vending machine and created the robotics application we have now.
