Alfonso,
Nice stuff!
Would you mind providing the URLs to the plotters you've mentioned?
I've posted your Plotter site to THE NXT STEP
(http://thenxtstep.blogspot.com) and asked for comments on other
plotters out there - let's see what people know of...
Regards,
Matthias

| Concept: a plotter which "writes" by making holes, starting from a b/ w bitmap. (URL) was sure not to be the first to build an NXT plotter, but my pride prohibited me to search the net for some NXT plotter to get inspiration before completing mine (...)
