Wonder why they didn’t use the encoder already provided with the printer motor/chassis combo. Could have gotten real printing resolution that way! Probably would have taken ALOT longer to print with their method & high resolution though….

Get one of the ‘bots that sticks to the wall with a vacuum, and attach spray-paint cans.

I like the idea of a swarm of these bots, but they’d still have to use big “pixels” to be able to be seen from the bleachers.

I have some friends who are creating a robot like this for painting football field for their senior project.

I wish it was faster, but I love the angry robot noises it makes.

What I wanted to do when I was younger was make one with a semiautomatic paintball gun that would automatically write your message on a billboard.

This might be good for the hash house harriers so member can avoid getting arrested for marking trails with flour again

Isn’t “sports geek” an oxymoron? Or is that just me?

Sorry for the huge pics. Easy to get lazy during finals trying to crank out a website. Here's a Youtube video of it in action:

A bigger one? No no no. You’re thinking about it all wrong. What we need is a swarm of them working together…

good idea – messy but a nice implementation. Someone needs to tell those guys to optimize the pics on their website..their header is nearly 4mb.
