Example: "1000 -5000 60" will move the brush 1000 to the right and 5000 down, and depress the brush to position 60 (along with the last collaborative painting).

If you're watching from the Twitch.tv stream, you can also send X, Y, or Z values, separated by spaces, into the Twitch chat. Z controls the brush height.

We've improved our controls with a GUI. Just click where you want to go.

How It Works

Every second we average the X, Y, and Z coordinates everyone sends and move the robot. You can see it react LIVE on the control page or the Twitch.tv stream.

We've put colors and some water on the canvas. What you choose to do with them is completely up to you.

Goals

After 36 hours, we will remove the paper and attempt to determine what's on it. Then we will auction it on ebay and donate the proceeds to the Watsi.org general fund.

Here are some side missions to accomplish (in order of difficulty):

Get a color, any color, onto the brush

Paint a line

Paint a square - quakenul

Paint a circle

Mix a new color

Paint a perfect circle - flux_w42

Paint the rocket ship

Cover all of the paper with some amount of paint

Paint a replica of the Mona Lisa
