Evan: Happy to be with you, Spiffy! A favorite adage of mine is, “You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.” We take so much for granted and don’t appreciate the little things. What about those who cannot perform simple tasks like getting up, walking to the kitchen table, and getting something to eat or drink? In 2022, I participated in the Rise Challenge, a challenge to showcase brilliance. My project for this challenge was developing DrinkBot, a robot that can grab and deliver old cups for the elderly and disabled. The challenge I am addressing is the care for the elderly and disabled. Even after becoming a Rise Global Winner, I continued to develop and improve DrinkBot.
