We built a robot etchasketch?!

***********************

Our robot etchasketch snaps a picture, converts it to a drawing, and turns the knobs of the etch a sketch to create the definitive best version of that drawing ever.

This robot was mainly a demo of our opensource robot platform MotorGo (motorgo.net) & to celebrate our 600 subscriber mark!

And look at our friend's repo that we stumbled across when doing this https://github.com/sameer/svg2gcode
it turned out to be just what we needed, and its written in RUST! we love rust
what a small world

ALSO:
In the middle of making this video someone else posted an etch a sketch robot and I thought it was really good! We even drew the dog in his video because it was such a cute photo. Definitely inspired by their work.    • Building a Robot Etch A Sketch   Go check it out!

Next up we are going to be touching up this demo to take to Opensauce convention 2024! Hoping to meet a lot of likeminded people there who like robots :)
