Raspberry Pi and Arduino are wonderful platforms to use to build robots and connected electronics and learn some coding in the process. The Drinkmotizer is a drink mixing robot powered by a Raspberry Pi. It uses a stepper motor to drive the table via a drive belt. An Arduino is used to receive the recipe from the Pi unit and control the movement.
