Portable Robot Printer Is Like A Roomba That Squirts Ink

Post by FlyingPenguin »

Okay, this might actually be a great portable printer IF they can really pull it off. You'll notice the prototype can only print one line. I think the real problem will be how to accurately position the robot for successive lines.

Even worse will be how to do it for drawings.

Great concept, I'm just not sure they can pull it off.
