Dartmoor Art School Robotics
At the end of July I ran a workshop as part of the original and friendly Dartmoor Arts Summer School, an independent organisation that runs art courses on a variety of subjects in or near Drewsteignton, Dartmoor, UK. For the first time the team included a drawing robot course in addition to more traditional subjects like drawing or stone carving.
- Fields near Drewsteignton
- Hardware bench
- Software bench
- First tests
- Phil’s robot in action
- Test pattern
- Glynn’s robot train engine
- Six robots near completion
7 participants registered and over the course of three days we covered the basics required to build and start programming an Arduino-powered drawing vehicle. All went well. Robotic drawing happened, culminating in a semi-chaotic demo in the local pub on the last night.
