The problem Nugget Clicker solves

This app is a step in the right direction when it comes to solving world hunger. People who are not tech savvy can easily get their free chicken nuggets and save their valuable time.

Challenges we ran into

The web scraper proved to be trickier than expected due to the way tables are structured in HTML. I kept getting an error about how my locator for the HTML elements couldn't be identified when I had clearly copied the ID tags correctly. I realized that the identifier for the checkbox was out of scope of the id tag I had selected and therefore had to resort to alternate methods for locating the checkboxes (using xpath instead).
