For my Interactive Project I decided to creating a drawing machine. Using Arduino and three servo motors as my primary sources of power, I will have a mechanism that draws on the paper. The planks connecting the servo motors will serve as shoulders to manipulate the the movement. As it shows in this picture, the mechanism will have a pen at its tip to draw on the paper. In order for the servos to move on the paper freely, I will have to attach small wheels to the bottom. The main issue i want to focus on is having the servos follow the movement equally so that the movement looks natural and creates abstract drawings.
