Thinking of a robot which can draw basic shapes upon command. Ideally, a voice command, but if that’s too complex, we can start off with a different type of command. I’m a python programmer, but have zero experience with adruino and the like. Please give me some advice to help me get started.

    I’m talking a very basic robot using breadboards, icecream sticks, motors, an adruino or something like that, and making it move the arm in preconfigured motions, like circle or square, etc. Nothing fancy.

      It might be a good idea to look at a pantograph for something like this, you could probably build a simple linkage out of popsicle sticks and use a couple of servos to control it. It would take some trigonometry to get it right but it’s probably the easiest to build with those materials
