The Donut Arcade is a full fledged arcade game, inside is a fryer, robot arm, conveyor belt, extruders, and a sprinkle shotgun. To operate all these components, there is a user interface with plenty of buttons as well as a joystick. The entire arcade is supposed to allow the user to fry a donuts and add toppings, such as sprinkles and glaze. However, we were unable to fulfill this goal, we have created an assembly over a small fryer. The assembly houses a donut extruder that is controlled by a solenoid, powered by an Arduino. We have made a couple tests with the fryer with actual dough and frying oil, the extruder does not the desired donut shape, as the dough flows too quickly through the extruder opening.
