Go to Post It's a good things we're engineers who regularly squeeze out 'miracles' with a severely limited budget, eh? I think that's an important aspect that we as mentors need to show the students from time to time, and this year is a perfect opportunity. - JesseK [more]

Re: Need help for using robot to create art

Our team built mini robots that could hold markers and lower or raise them. Then we did a demonstration at an art gallery where children could come and drive the robots making designs on large sheets of paper.

You could also take wheels from the robots and dip them in paint then roll them across the paper making a trail. We also took a VEX kit and created a mini shooter out of two wheels and a motor, we put paper around the whole thing, turned on the shooter and dribbled paint on the wheels to create a really interesting lined drawing from the paint flying off the wheels.

I have pictures of the paintings and the robots we used if you'd like to see them feel free to pm me.

Re: Need help for using robot to create art

Really simple 'drawbot' idea. Not technically a robot (by my definition), but the general public would classify it as such. There are a few variations on the same idea. Might be a good idea if you have limited time, or they could be a secondary demonstration next to your main attraction.

Re: Need help for using robot to create art

Thanks for the great ideas. I'll get them out to our students, so they can decide what they want to do. I wasn't thinking about smaller robots, but have a personal Mindstorm that could be lent out for the night.

Thanks again,
