The Robot Catapult that Flings Paint

Such a fun project! (Did it remind anyone else of this scene from The Skulls? Am I the only person who remembers that movie? )

Check out more details from JBV Creative on YouTube.

To my surprise, it actually worked! Flingbot created paintings that far exceeded my own personal ability to paint (This was the main reason for my Engineering degree, right?). Using some randomized Arduino code that picks from a plethora of different parameters, Flingbot’s paintings are truly one of a kind. Based on the parameters and some basic combination math, I estimated that Flingbot is capable of 3 trillion different painting possibilities (the number is likely higher due to variables out of Flingbot’s control).
