Here’s a sweet piece with a dad and his two daughters working with a drawbot they made from yogurt cups, DC motors, and art pens. They made some really nice wrapping paper.

BTW: Our very own Jonah Brucker-Cohen did a drawbots project in 2001. You can see the piece on that at his website. [Thanks, Jonah!]
