Kelly Key sent in this gorgeous 18″x18″ Makelangelo drawing done with inverted color – a silver Sharpie on black artist paper.

Kelly says, “I have sent these around the world to friends. One is in Japan….This particular print I sent to the Church of Satan….I haven’t heard back…but I am sure it is hanging in somewhere.”

Thank you, Kelly! Everyone else, please keep for posting in the forums and sending in your awesome pictures. We love to share what you do!

Edit: The next version of Makelangelo software (v7.8.2) now has an option to set the paper and pen color. Preview your drawing as it is meant to be seen!

Robot Overlord: uArm support grows

2016-09-09 Dan

uFactory sent us the STL files for their uArm robot yesterday, and I was able to integrate the correct look and feel in the afternoon.

Also improved the lighting and made sure WASD+mouse can fly if the cursor is over the picture part of the app. Much easier to fly around the world.

I already have firmware that runs the uArm connected to RO. I have a uArm on my desk waiting for a new shoulder servo and then I will be making a video of the two working together.

Maybe now developers will start to get on board. BCN3D MOVEO? 7Bot Duo? Send me a robot so I can integrate your machine. Please tweet them and ask if their machine supports #robotOverlord for me, OK?

The 2500th Makelangelo robot was turned on in the last couple of days in Muscat, Oman. I missed it because it came 10 days earlier than anticipated. My day is so full I had to hire an assistant and HIS day is full.
