Project 1: Bristle Bot

Bristle bots was the idea i used for my drawing machine idea. I encountered the making of the bristle bot through a kids science website and decided to try it out with bigger brushes.

Improvements
  • Can put a pen holder for the permanent markers so that the markers can be replaced when they run out of ink
  • Start the bristle bots from a common starting point and then let them run
  • Use a smaller canvas for more equal distribution
