So, many of the people at my robotics lab buy soda from the vending machine.  They just increased the price for a drink from 1.50 to 1.75!  That is paying 10.50 for a 6 pack!  So, we were saying we should just buy a bunch of soda when it goes on sale.  So, we of course could make our own dispensary.

Would be terribly fun to implement the bounty hunting task allocation for a Coke delivery robot on GMU’s campus.  So, instead of going to a vending machine you would order on your phone and it would bring you your coke product.  So you pay for the soda through the app and you get a qrcode that you then present to the robot and it will dispense the soda.  Then you could buy a coke for someone and they would just show the code.

Of course this could be done with a ton of things.  But since my campus only has coke product it would be really cool if we had this.  It would be a great research problem too.
