OK, so I wanted to try and build something that make something of it own. This is the result of that. It's basicly a plotter that can move in two directions X and Z. |

But I had to make it more interesting, so instead of just making it go back and forth, I put in a light destector that "see" the black lines that the pen is drawing. I put a rule on the light detector to change the direction of the Z axle at a random time betwine 0.1 - 2 seconds. |

I also put in detector at the end of each tracks end so the sled would not go outside its track. | |

It's a bit tricky then you have 4 ends of track and only two pressure sensors. But this solution make it works... | |

I dident have that many long cables that I needed so I came up with this solution. | |
