Construction of my third painting robot has entered its second week. It is too large for my own good. It can move a robotic arm as much as 72″ side to side and 54″ up and down. Awesome. I am going to run a special promotional sale tonight for the inaugral painting. With bidding starting at $2000 you will be able to commission a painting as large as its max dimensions. I am not sure how large this painting robot will be able to paint when I am done with all the mechanics, but it will be around 66″ x 48″.

Also notice my favorite laptop in the background. When I was working on robotic cars for the DARPA Grand Challenge, that thing fell off of the back of a dune buggy going at least 15 mph on a grass field (some say it was 25 mph) . I wrote it off as a destroyed laptop as soon as I saw it get flung. But when I got to it, I dusted it off and it was good to go. Fast forward five years and I pull it out of my closet. Sure the battery was dead, but it fired right up when plugged in and sent instructions to the robot for its first test movements. About 3 days more work left and we will be good to go.

I will post auction for inaugral painting here shortly.
