In between robot battles at Seattle Bot Battle IV, I got a chance to interview Scott Ferguson about his computer controlled CNC etchasketch. He can make his computer control the etchasketch. Scott usually makes robots that kill other robots, but took up the kinetic art challenge for the event.

One of the things that impressed me is that Scott positioned the servos stepper motors so that he can use a big or a pocket etchasketch by just switching the pullies and changing the settings on his computer. He also wrote the program that controlls the Etcha Sketch.

For this video I went on a spring treasure hunt to find some signs of spring at Earth Sanctuary. Come and see what signs of spring you can find!
