Contextual Statement
The mark making machine carries four acrylic paints in its petals delivered via a separate paint dispenser and controlled by a system 
of buttons.

Design Intent
Design intent to make a kinetic mark making machine to engage and entertain families in an outdoor setting through flicking paint.

Research
Affordances of materials for the form of the flower. Microbit and Arduino capabilities, adding a power source and sequencing actions.

Outcome
Prototype made from 3mm corflute card, the flower form was then drawn in fusion 360 before being 3D printed, assembled and wired with two motors. Some motor incompatability, the machine design functioned fully kineticly.
