Greetings!
    I have completed my "LEG-A-SKETCH", which works great, except for the
marker, I use a standard dry-erase marker so it comes of the legos if I mess

    My problem is that the lines will skip and the marker wont stay straight
up and down, suggestions?

baseplate for the bottom, and the paper rides on that, I then used geared
down tires beefed up with printing labels, not much, but sometimes works.
