Daniele had it do my portrait at DjangoCon last month and it turned out pretty well despite the fact I'm so hairy! https://twitter.com/fwiles/status/1177018222987448321

did you have a belt across your face?

hahaha no

It looks like the robot adds 10 pounds.

It looks like there's an artifact in a certain range of arm extension; the "belt" effect appears in [1] too. I just went from "this is cool but what would I do with it" to "I wanna make one and try to debug it."

Judging from the pic, I'd say "Hairy" is something this plotter does well.

It's a neat toy and a cool hack, but it's not useful for a lot except artistic sketches.

"not useful for a lot except artistic sketches" - what could be more useful than that?!
