Disney invents an adorable robot for making giant sand drawings















Disney's latest invention, or electromechanical project, is called BeachBot. It is 2 feet long and 15 inches wide and tall. This robot can draw images from "The Lion King" to "Finding Nemo" in under 10 minutes. It creates a variety of brush strokes that range from two to 15 inches wide. However, BeachBot does have some limitations. The fine motor controls of BeachBot does not work well sand and salty surf. RTo prevent this, they have to build rubberized seals into the design to protect the sensitive internal workings from the elements (extar care is required in maintenance).
