Creative Roboting. All your little bots are inspirational, but this one beats them all. You should make a signature to put at the bottom of the drawings.

ah - great!

but  it’s solar? I don’t see any panels, or caps for that matter…

ed. Ah “solar motor” =/= solar powered.

Is the vibro motor changing direction? how are you accomplishing that?

can I request some worms-eye view photos?

 

How about putting a crayon of different colours in each of the three supports - say; red, green & blue, instead of black and two blank supports?

More variation?

I can see you’re stopping and starting the motor (reversing?) in the video, but how about using PWM on the 08m to vary the speed which may give more drawing variation, or is that what the LDR is doing?

More of a bounded chaotic system at the moment I think, but if you had a concave ‘playing field’ then that would be an attractor.
