Twitter robot tweets at BMW Plant Oxford
Software Engineer Matt Thorne is prepping his industrial robot scribblybot for a special exhibition at BMW Plant Oxford on September 12th. Between the hours of 10 AM and 4 PM, all messages sent to the robot’s Twitter account (@scribblybot) will be retweeted on the robot’s page at the same time they will be robotically jotted on a whiteboard in front of visitors to the MINI factory.

<p>Fun fact (if you’re a geek)… You can draw <b>anything</b> on a plotter using (repeating) just 3 commands: PenUp, PenDown, MoveTo(X, Y)</p>
<p>This is far more complicated than a plotter however. The geek in me approves. The utilitarian in me is scratching his head. ;)</p>
<p>I think this plays to the fun side of MINI; who else would do this?</p>
