    So I haven't been able to play many video games as of late due to school and finals. For engineers, there is often a Capstone or Senior Design project that has to be completed over the time span of a year. (2 semesters). 1 Semester Design, 1 Semester Build. Usually Chaos ensues when trying to complete the project and not fail any classes.

    My group's senior design was to make a automatic Full Immersion Coffee machine. It has the capability to grind coffee Beans, boil water & dispense, and plunge the combined mixture into a coffee cup. The pitch we give is a little longer then the one sentence I have up here, but it is a pretty elaborate machine.

    Early building of the project as seen below.

    Man, I would love to have a access to a laser aluminum milling setup. So jealous. :)

    And this looks awesome.

    Isn't that what a normal coffee machine does?

    In primary school when we did natural disasters I did my project on black holes.
    Ah, youth.
