The problem: Sometimes it's overwhelming when we're short on time in the morning.

The solution should be low-maintenance (not need to be charged or refilled more than once a week), streamline one's routine or help with being overwhelmed, and be reasonably resistant to drops and jolts.

I'm constrained by the items in my kit, plus whatever frameworks/parts I could 3D print or fashion out of cardboard or similar materials. In my kit are:

  • An Arduino
  • Light/Distance/Heat sensors
  • Stepper and Servo motors
  • Various switches and buttons
  • LEDs and Displays
  • Speakers and buzzers
  • Various electronic components (wires, breadboards, resistors, etc.)

I've come up with 10 ideas to solve the problem:
