Frankenbot

A frankestein-styled robot we made at latest hackathon.

 Based on mirobot chassis, equipped with two stepper motors and a servo to handle a marker, managed by Raspberry Pi.

 Initially we panned it to draw on a whiteboard - magnets to hold the construction are under the bottom platform. However, wheels are too big and due to their friction with chassis motors couldn't turn properly - robot is heavier than we expected.

The idea was to replicate a user's drawing on a tablet to whiteboard directly.

By the end of the day we managed to draw the company name without lifting the marker up :)
