No more bitter brew
While watching the DARPA Grand Urban Challenge I solved a major problem in my life; bitter tea. A good cup of Earl Grey gets pretty bitter after steeping for more then 3 minutes. Quite often I get focused on my work and forget about the tea. Yes, a timer would work, but if I am focusing, it is normally for a reason and I do not want to break my concentration. The answer is to automate the steeping process. Here is my working prototype made from some spare robot parts and a USB servo controller from Parallax.

Aunt Sandra,
Based on the feedback I have gotten on this I should start a factory in my garage. The one I made is a prototype, but I have some ideas on how to make it cost effective and appealing to those that do not want the erector set look in there kitchen or office.
When I made a few of those I'll be sure to send one up your way.
