This thing is basically a small pen plotter for kids. Would love to see it do a more complicated design.

jdboyd•3w ago

You just know the next version will probably get voice recognition and some connection to an LLM to generate line drawings for it too then place on paper.

I think it would be cool to have a variant built that included some sort of turtle graphic system. Or maybe a voice controlled logo language?

(Sorry for the offtopicness: this is a re-spawn of notmine1337's earlier post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45925665, which was too old to re-up directly.

Normally we'd email a repost invite for these (see https://news.ycombinator.com/invited) but I was unable to do that in this case. I hope this is ok!)

super cool teardown

ctchocula•3w ago

This reminded me of those booths they have at company holiday parties where they take a photo of you, convert it to a line drawing and have the robot draw it out for you to keep. Very cool hack!
