found this interesting article on CNET:
Robot artist Piccolo to draw for under $70
"Does anyone remember how to write without a keyboard? Like, with a pen? No matter, because this small bot can do it for you.
Piccolo is a prototype open-source platform that comes as a kit. With a target price of less than $70, it's an attractive computer-controlled plotter for tinkerers."

I would like to see a similar device replacing my dot matrix printer
