We originally planned to have the glue in the bottom left cup and upon starting the robot, be poured into to the bottom mixing cup. Then borax powder, in the top right cup, would be poured into to a mixture of food color and water, and that would then be poured into the the bottom mixing cup. The two mixing rods would then mix them togeteher.

With this design the amount of cups was causing a lot of problems. For one, there was not enough room for all three cups with ingredients and one empty cup. Second, with each pour, was lost some ingredients meaning the more pours the more ingredients lost.
