This page will be dedicated to the wonderful world of scribblebots or artbots or wigglebots. You can call them whatever you like. The goal of this page is to inspire people to create, tinker, design, and be creative. How do we take simple household materials and create some really cool bots that maneuver on paper to construct cool art designs? This is the place to get you started.
We will be launching several videos to this page so keep coming back as we continue to post new designs, ideas, and tips as we experiment with new concepts.
As always, if you have a great idea or have made something cool please share it with us so we can share your work with the world!
This link will take you to a post where I share a poster for you to use in your makerspace or school scribblebot station.
