What’s next?

• Well, once the parts arrive I’ll have my hands full.  I’ll need to:
• Solder up the Adafruit Motor Shield kit
• Solder together some long wires to run between the motors and electronics
• Print or recycle some spools1
• Print the motor mounts and print-head/gondola
• Add some monofilament line2
• If the monofilament-spool system doesn’t work, I’ll switch to a ball-chain pulley system
• Buy a long 1×1 wood board to which I can bolt all the parts
• Put the parts together
• Download some code
• Hack some code
• Upload some code
• Draw, ‘bot, draw!
