While coding new interactivity into this robot, and trying to achieve more control on the way it moves, I though it would be cool to see what happens if I mount one little servo to hold a pen, and tell him to write 'LMR'.The idea came from this challenge... and I thought I could give it a shot.If you can´t see the videos here are the Youtube Links http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v3BJMeKFW0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzekyC9O6hA The result was far from what I expected.

At the same time it was nice to see this little creature drawing lines on its own :)
