NEW SKILL EXAMPLE

When I chose for the practice Digital Craft. My goal was also to make a mini robot or a sort of mechanism with a motor or something like that. So the new skill object is my chance to do that. So my plan is to make a mini drawing robot. I searched on youtube for instruction videos and ordered a small motor. With these materials, I can start making.

So the motor I ordered has a small arm that spins very fast. It also vibrates when it spins. I thought the motor I ordered was a bit bigger so that's a bit of a pity. But now I'm thinking of making an insect that draws. I used a strip of thermoplastics connectors as the body of the insect. On that strip I added the legs with some pencils on it. I connected a battery holder on the motor and then the insect is ready to draw with. Because the motor vibrates the insect can walk. I also added a snout on the arm of the motor so the robot can walk faster.
