Seriously, we used to have giant plotters at the print shop I worked at for cutting vinyl. All this is is a plotter with your hand stuck too it, and instead of it cutting through things with a razer, its drawing them with a marker.

That makes absolutely no sense. I don't get why human beings make computers to do things they can't do, then proceed to make the computer do things OUR way. Just take a friggin photo, load it into your computer, open up Photoshop, use an artistic filter, and print it out. VOILA! A self-portrait in less than 2 minutes.

Giving the computer a robotic hand do do the exact same thing and taking a longer time is a complete waste of... everything (money, time and etc.).

The fail is strong in this one, folks. Interesting robot, but we can always just use a digital camera to do the same thing in a matter of a split second
Wow. He is obviously referring to drawing. Why must you people try to stretch something that does not need to be. no where it mentions "you guys suck at life so we made a robot to do things for you". Sure just a person buying it would be pretty pointless. But having a few of these machines at a art fair could make someone good money. People would enjoy watching themselves draw their own face.

Tell me this, who is more lazy, the people too impatient to draw themselves, or a guy who creates a self-portrait drawing robot without attaching pencils to it?

And then it makes you pull a gun out of your pocket against your will and makes you shoot your friends and draws happy faces with their blood.
