"The same procedure as every year." - Well said in "Dinner for one". My procedure for ACRA (Annual Cocktail Robot Award) is:
1) Working on the vision of the project for years (every year a different robot idea)

2) Collecting parts.

3) Try out a bit and realize I bought the wrong parts.

4) Go to local hardware stores/home improvement stores and buy expensive replacement.

5) Re peat 2 - 4 until it is already time for ACRA.

6) Throw all the parts into my huge suitcases which becomes super heavy.

7) Bring the parts to Roboexotica and build it there.

8) Get it to do something, which was only a small part of what I actualy wanted to achieve.

9) Still get some awards for special categories, because I take the liberty to just do what I want there.

10) Be happy that my efforts has been acknowledged by the jury.

This year, my bot won the "innovation award", which made me super happy, because it is truely something I have been working on.
I wanted to see a cocktail robot, which shakes proper cocktails.

And this year I said to myself:
1) Do one thing and do it well: Only one cocktail. (Unfortunate it did not came that far, but made the project less complex.

2) Implement the most important feature: The shaking arm. (I got it moving, link will be updated later.

3) Enjoy the process, don't get too attached to the award itself or the money. So I was just making it, without serving it. Occasionally explaining it to people I liked.

4) Help others for their repairs, since I have occupated the workshop for myself.

5) Performance art: How innovations are born: Out of necessecity.

6) Don't get lost in planning, just get started.

Every project of mine so far has questions I want answers to. This year, I was asking: "What is an ideal human?" Of course, there are many answers to this question. But I realized of the conceptualization phase, that the ideal human does not need tools, because it has already the capability it desires as body functions. For instance, if you had the ability to remember everything instantly (like fotographic memory) there would be no need to buy an ebook reader, since you coud just go to library and look through the pages super fast and then you can just access that later. Since we don't have them all, since we cannot have them all, we have to accept, that we as humans cannot be ideal. Therefore we will always need tools. Therefore we need to take care and improve the tools we use in order to live.
Since the idealization is based on skills and the preservation of valuable skills becomes apparent. And the nature of a skill is a request. Because there is no meaning in having a skill when you don't use it. And when it is a skill which you don't need for yourself, then the only time one will need that skill, is when asked to. One of the fundamental value of a human lies in the ability to help other creatures unconditionally. Thus this ideal skill will need ot be a request. Since an ideal human does not die, because it has the ability to live forever, the ideal human boils down to wait for the request for the valuable skill for humanity. In a sense, it is a "Genie" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genie_(Disney) ) That Genie also confirms that he does not need tools to fulfill the request. 
And here lies the double edges sword: Since a Genie can do everything, you have to formulate carefully.

If I were to create such an ideal human, I would "verewigen" (german word for "eternalize") my skill as a bartender for shaking a proper cocktail. The value of a proper cocktail are fundamentally the following three:
1) Alcohol

2) Sugar

3) Entertainment

The reason why most cocktails are shaken and not stirred is, because by shaking, you cool down the cocktail so the taste of alcohol and sugar are not that annoying, since our taste buds are less sensitive when the operating temperature is low. The dilemma is, if you shake too slowly or too long (usually in combination) then the cocktail will suck, because it will be watery and not really cool. Thus there is a sweetspot where it cools the cocktail down but still the ice has not still melted.
And I believe that this cocktail can be created  by ChaosCalmerBot.

Since I have finally figured out, what I wanted to create, I will no longer start making a different robot until this robot is complete. But every year I will keep building on new features, to approximate to the "ideal cocktail" ("Cup of God" from the anime "Bartender"). And this will be the Entertainment component.

In the sense of Mr. Spock, I want to "Live long and prosper" to keep building cocktail robots. Thank you all for your support and enabling all of this.
