The overall answer is that this is an open community, and we don't require
discussions here be related to NYCResistor or microcontrollers.  We follow
the ideals of a 'Do'ocracy, so if you are doing something cool and want to
talk about it, feel free. If you are learning something and have questions,
you can ask here as well.  We all just try to be polite and constructive.

So: What kind of drawbots have you built?  I've been thinking of building a
physical Logo turtle some day.
