Design Specifications
You need to design the robot from scratch that can create the artwork.
The robot needs to be pre-programmed and run from either the brick or from running from the device. It can not be controlled while it is running.
You are welcome to use any sort of electronics for your robot. Choices range from Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Microbit (McQueen), Sphero, Dash, VEX, NXT, EV3 and Spike kits. Adding sensors can be used to add to the spectacle of your performance. Younger students could use Beebots or similar. There is no limit to the number of robots you can use for one piece of artwork.
The robot can use any medium for the artwork - paint, pen etc.
The artwork needs to reflect as many skills as possible for your robot. The more complex the art, the better you may be scored.
