IncuBot

Goals

• Keep a sample of 10 test tubes of water (+ other stuff, but mostly water) at temp = 35 C for X minutes, and then reduce it to temp = 4 C.

Ideas:

1. Make a heated, temperature-controlled, insulated chamber that could be placed in a large freezer
2. Make a stand-alone fridge that has a heater inside; control the heater, and then turn off the heater and turn on the fridge
