Robot Paths

A while back I saw some projects on the web wherein people would put LEDs on their Roombas and take long exposure photographs of them in action to see what kind of coverage they were getting on their floors (see links at the end of this post).

This generated some images that were pretty cool in their own right, so I though I might try something similar. Being Roomba-less, I decided to adorn PlexiBot with LEDs and force it to do my bidding, and because its World Dominance Subsystem is not yet functional, it had no choice but to comply. Here are some of the results:

This was actually a great deal of fun. If anyone else tries it, please share your pics.
