Well, we're coming up to the end of the semester and the days of Final Presentations and Soft Opening.

Our robot painter paints! We've had successful tests of it copying people's drawings and are currently playtesting it with kids. There have been some minor errors, but it's all a part of the debugging process.

So debugging is underway. The mechies are hard at work fabricating the box and external parts to the installation, such as the front-panel interface an the stylus.

The kids really respond to the Lynxie well. I'm impressed at how patient they are when they watch the robot draw. They're fascinated by her. One of the things I found interesting was that at first, they drew whatever they wanted, then after a few times, they wanted to challenge the robot to draw something more complex, such as mixing colors or drawing more concrete images.
