[eu-gene] Scribbler Bot

[Rob Myers]

Via Make:

"The scribbler bot is essentially a drawing machine that converts  
digital information into a physical drawing. The bot is made up of a  
software component and a hardware component. The software component  
analyzes a picture taken by a web camera (or just about any other  
image source), creates a unique line drawing from that analysis, and  
exports a point list that corresponds to the points that make up the  
lines. The point list is then sent as a series of discreet motor  
commands to the hardware component: a homemade orthogonal plotter.  
The plotter executes the motor commands to create a line drawing  
using a pen, pencil, or whatever medium you can attach to it with a  
zip-tie."
