NAME: Piccolo, the tiny CNC Robot

AUTHOR: Diatom Studio

DESCRIPTION: An arduino-controlled plotter that can draw anything you want and only costs $70.

AMUSEMENT RATING: 2/5. The concept is great, affordable, open-source, you name it. But unless you were a die-hard Lego fan growing up, the whole assembly part does seems complicated and might take forever. Also, strangely enough, besides its name and a tree, you barely see any of the Piccolo creations in the video. Oh yeah, you see the Piccolo drawing mustaches on an electric plug. Because you need a robot to do that. Not a total miss, but I’d like to see more.
