B-R InvenTeam

An old picture, but these are the members of B-R InvenTeam! Our advisor and mentor, Mr. Patrick, is the brain behind the camera. The photo was taken during one of our after-school meetings towards the beginning of the school year. We are currently working on updating our team photo, along with improving the design of our invention. Today's to-do's include refining our blades and working to fabricate them.

1st Working Prototype

We are a few days away from completing our first working prototype!!!!!

K-CUP CONSUMPTION

We have just recieved new information on the daily consumption of single serve coffee pods! According to Flying High Coffee, in just a single week, an end-to-end line of discarded K-Cups will circle the equator once. Lengthwise, that adds up to 24,901.55 miles per week, and 3557.364 miles per day of waste due to these coffee pods! That's something we didn't know.
 

3d printer is down. the software needs to be re-installed. printing of the blade jigs and next base/blade mount will be delayed by a few days.
