Every kid's dream robot - just tell him your homework and done it will be... :D But it's true it's a good concept, it could have some kind of choreography linked to drawing... Much to explore there...
Thinking more seriously on application possibilities of this kind of drawing bot, I thought it could become a nice printer: no pixels, just Bezier curves - this would be valid for vectorial images, I don't know about bitmaps - maybe for bitmaps it's better to use old school laser/inkjet printers.

This weblog is dedicated to fresh and alternate views on robotics. We will focus especially in music robots, toy robots, play and game and robots as well as the culture of robots. We are the the first robot-blog from Germany - and maybe from Europe - that write regularly on this topic! This blog is made by the same people around the Digital Tools Magazine. We will have some nice surprises later this year, so stay tuned!
