When creativity is hard to come by, I always look up to the clouds. They are spontaneous, vivid with emotions, and every cloud is one of a kind. This Spirograph robot is just like the clouds. As it spontaneously draws lines on any surface, any canvas you are willing to provide it. Certainly, he will inspire you just like how the clouds have done for me~
Follow this instructable to create a uniquely yours, Spirograph robot as a companion on your journey for creativity.
