I like building and helping others build drawing robots.  I had built up so much material on my other website, MakerBlock.com, ((If you like reading about open source robots, 3D design and 3D printing, WordPress, and random bits of nonsense, you might enjoy that blog too.)) that it just made sense to start a separate site dedicated to just to drawing robots so that I could better organize and curate the best and most helpful information.

I’ve named my “v-plotter” drawing robot “PlotterBot.”  These types of robots surprisingly easy to build, even for beginners, are very forgiving of mistakes, and are capable of drawing really large pictures.  I showed off PlotterBot at the Maker Faire Bay Area 2013 and 2014.

I’ve designed a very small drawing robot named “Tiny CNC.”  It’s easy to build and hard to mess up – perfect for total beginners.
