What is mDrawBot?
mDrawBot is the world's most fully-featured four-in-one drawing robot. It can be assembled into 4 different configurations: mScara， mSpider， mEggBot， and mCar. This kit consists of over 60 components from Makeblock， including beams， brackets， motor， etc. It also comes with a specially-designed software named mDraw to control these robots.

mScara
mScara is a SCARA (Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arm) driven by stepper motors. Adding a pen on mScara， it can draw pictures on a flat surface. You can also turn mScara into a desktop laser engraver replacing the pen with a laser diode.
mSpider
mSpider is a drawing robot which can draw pictures on a wall or a white board. Two stepper motors control the movement of mSpider though strings. Theoretically， its drawing range can be expanded by increasing the length of the strings.
mEggBot
mEggBot is designed to draw on things that are improbable to print on， such as eggs or ping-pong balls. It can be used to write letters， draw expressions on spheroid， or draw Easter eggs.
mCar
mCar is a three-wheel robot car， which contains two stepper-motor-drive wheels and a ball-caster wheel. It can draw its own movement tracks on flat surface. Installing a chalk instead of a pen， it can draw on the floor.
How to Use mDrawBot?
Each mDrawBot kit can be assembled into any of the 4 different configurations. We provide the detailed assembling instructions that enables you to build any configuration in an hour.

About mDrawBot’s upgrade:
You can also design your own upgrade pack for your mDrawBot. By adding an accelerometer and gyro sensor， it will become a two-wheeled self-balancing vehicle. Add some additional Makeblock mechanical parts and it may be transformed into a XY plotter. The only limit is your imagination.
