Maybe the robot could use the laser to draw spiro-graph designs on the wall, I'm not sure if the motors could position the beam that fast though. Joel Shafer joel@connect.net (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Lasers are very well, and make cool toys. My cat loves to chase the little red spot on the carpet! But if you're talking about scanning or diffusing the beam, aren't you defeating the purpose of using a laser. If you want a cone, use a super- bright (...)
