Here is the second base to LEGO RCX.  This base holds up to three pens.  The control is the same as the first LEGO RCX Robot.  This robot the pens are the front wheels and the robot is driven by the two rear wheels.

The machine is created completely by me (Tim Morrison) without directions.

LEGO RCX DRAWING MACHINE BASE

Here is the RCX control for the drawing machines.  I decided to make multiple bases and have the two drive motors with the RCX and sensors removable from the bases.

The Pendulum Machine

Here is a sneak peak at our group drawing machine.  Our plan is to make a Pendulum powered drawing machine.  In these two videos, by Matt, you can see us testing the bearing at the top of the pendulum.
