DIY Friday: Printbots

Hey do-it-yourselfers! Ready for another installment of Printeresting’s DIY Friday? Hot on the heels of the 3D Printer, it’s another high-tech project… PRINT-ROBOTS!
Compliments of TeamEasyEnough at instructables.com… the Printbot. This little unit “prints” with chalk. Think Roomba with printing capabilities. It’s built using an iRobot platform and a dot-matrix printer. Check out the video…
Another similar but slightly different option is the Posterbot. The posterbot is the brain child of Wyatt Felt also at instructables.com. Motivated by his own illegible handwriting, he decided to produce a robot to do the work for him. This one uses a marker. Parts should run you a mere $50, a bargain considering the time and energy it will save!

This would be great for remote control graffiti.
