Funny, I went to google right after I posted and found those same
sites. Cool, aren't they? No pics of the result of the robo-graph, but
soon. I have to redesign the chalk holder assembly first. Did you ever
notice that the minute you add a non standard (i.e. real world) piece,
the engineering becomes exponentially more difficult? Right now I have
a tire gripping the chalk and a really weird contraption applying
pressure to keep the chalk down hard enough to make a good line.
Your right though. I have NO idea how I'm going to get from the
formula stage to working code. It would be easier if the robot were
designed like a plotter, but this is an autonomous wheelbot with an arm
that drags chalk!
Feel free to contribute to my obsession de jour (anyone....
anyone.....)
