The intro to this is A W E S O M E !!! I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I saw it. The build is also cool. The finished product doesn't do justice to the build.
Thank you to whomever fixed…
Fun build.
You need a pressure sensor for the pen so that you can get a better position indication when the pen meets the paper.
You did a good job of capturing the basic projection of all of the arm dynamics…
