Building a giant drawing machine : the build and improvement process off a multi-colour spray-paint wall plotter for performance on the Maker Festival

This bachelor thesis project aims at building and improving engagement of a technical art installation for a festival, a giant drawbot, which creates bitmap representations of pictures or paintings using spray-paint. The realisation phase went smoothly by prototyping the main parts of the installation separately and combining them in a final iteration at the end. The initial iteration of the robot proved to be engaging, but can be improved on a number of factors. Finally, a recommendation is made for improvement of the engagement of the installation and its functional parts.
