Machine that Tries to Draw Circles

January 30, 2009

I expected something else when I found this documentation about a machine that should simply draw a circle. I almost cried when I watched it. Every designer sometimes needs a break. Enjoy

Artificial inteligence is nothing compared to natural stupidity.

Even if that was spinning properly, would it even draw a correct looking circle? I don't see how that is supposed to work, but that is funny for some reason. www.knrdesigns.com has some great articles about things like this, you should check them out.

It's pretty funny though, lol.

Good/funny post!

Of course, more rigid arms between engines and drawing device would mean smoother and more controlled action ;)

Why did you almost cry? Was it made by Helen Keller? Ooh, hope no one gets offended by that.
