Is there winxp x64 driver for it?

What a talented robot!!

that's amazing. At first it looked like it wasn't gonna be that precise but when it drew the house and the circle at the end... awesome. The people who invented this are very creative.

i'd love to hang it off a major building...

Cant wait to get one of those to decorate my house walls and my clubs walls a well!!
Cheers to the inventor!

holy macaroni!!!!!!!! :O

Re-designed software for a plotter to make a spray can go up and down - BIG DEAL. They could have used stiching software that actually uses directions and starts and stops. If the wires were on a tight sqaure frame and the can didn't just dangle it could have gone faster than a couple of days.

Seems I found a reason why there is so much strings around the Empire State Building... About time they got some modern colors!

But its kind of lame... NO COLORS? COME ON! You have to get colors! You know, no colors means white trees and white houses and white sky! Where the hell is the logic? He He He!

REALLY GOOD ROBOT

I'm sure you've all seen a plotter before... I don't think this is a great leap in technology, though I do like the potential mobility this thing has.

i love it!!!

it wud be exactly the same as ur home printer

ain't that great, just like a printer on your pc.... I mean you already have to have the image!!! so long sukrz

I LIKE IT

simply unbelievable..

That's such the day to day technology we use on printers tho aplied on a higher scale, pretty creative tho. ^^

OK

We humans have officially become useless. If they invent a robot that can make sushi I'm killing myself...

Now seriously, guys, all this is is a vertical plotter, it's not AMAZING it's just pretty cool.

can you imagine the concequences?

that one very cool robot

i'm telling you now that that robot is good and i wanna have one!

This is basically nothing more than a variation of a plotter printer scaled and configured to be used against a wall. The same mechanics have been used in printers for years.

how much?

cute

it's realy amazing. Can anybody tell me how it work?

.

just like a CNC machine
we have one in the shop, it works really well

clever those chinese. needs refining.

The new hp graffiti jet. Gives the word "wallpaper" a whole new meaning!

but it cant quite replace a person.

It bled quite a bit and there was a lot of running.

as to how it did it. illustrator uses vectors so what it probaby does is just read the vectors in the file and paint each one of those as opposed to a printer that works from top to bottom. using vectors you get smoother lines and something more like what a perons would produce.

in the end, props on the design, but it still needs a bit more refinement to hold off that running.

First the skilled labor, now the unskilled labor.

hummmm...

just IMAGINE the stuff you could do with that......

but it looks to me like there is a lot of prepping involved per picture. a regular desk printer simply prints a series of horizontal lines that eventually end up looking like the picture or text that you told it to print. This system, however, uses seemingly improvised movements, possibly programed by an actual graffiti artist. There is also the factor of unwanted movement, because it uses two strings on both sides at the top of the picture, rather than, say, steel rods along the length and width of the picture, which would make it a lot easier to move the can precisely along the wall. But all these imperfections in the system cause me to be even more impressed with the inventors, who had to go through incredibly long and *boring* physics calculations to make this possible.


This reminded me of another drawing robot I saw on the web. here's the link:

That's awesome!

is some serious technology there ... yea you guys think what the hell its just one spray can flying around but think about the geometry and the robotics involved ... wow simply amazing .

Otherwise very nice, but a LOT of unnecessary movement to my untrained eye, at least. The drawing software needs a bit optimising...

men thats amazing

This is amazing :o

Well done on a large printer scale. I liked the way it was controled.
