Drawbot Using Parallax Propeller Microcontroller programmed using PropForth

  Martin_H from the Parallax forum has built a cool little robot called Drawbot, it uses a Parallax Propeller Microcontroller programmed using PropForth. The main drive for this robot are the cheap $5 stepper motors that are available on eBay out of China. Looks like it is just powerful enough for this project. There is some loss of position after it draws a lot due to things like wheel slip.
