DESCRIPTION- this is a toy that teaches people about art. It is based on a character called RemBark. He is the doggy drawing robot. It uses two servos to move a marker that draws over hundreds of drawing of 4X6 sketches. These sketch pieces fit together to form larger wall drawings, or murals, like a jig saw puzzle, in something that is called, “ RemBark’s Universe.”
 
For Example.
 
1.   A blackboard in a classroom would feature 40 sketches, made up of elements found in a classroom. These sketches would be math notes, chalk, desks, books,  etc.
 
OR
 
2.   A garden, and in the garden there would be sketches the robot draws. There would be a sketch of a bee. The bee sketch is fitted in the mural, by a flower. Other sketches would be like a bird, or butterfly, etc.
 
OR
 
3.   An art Gallery, and there would be empty painting frames where you would place RemBark’s sketches, of himself- self portrait. There would be other artist’s, like Van Goat, and Pigasso. There would also be RemBark’s drawing, of the famous artist.
 
Appearance of Toy- the dog is about 10 inches high. He is named after Rembrandt. He has a plush head, like a Jack Russell terrier. He is half plush, half mechanical. He wears a hat like Rembrandt, and has a goatee. He is a Pavlovian Dog, doing psychological testing with sketches, like Hermann Rorschach.
 
Specifications
HOW IT WORKS- it uses a motor, and from the motor, you use a belt drive to the main gear. The first main gear is made of 80 durometer urethane. At the end of the gear, you have a 40 tooth gear meshing with a 41 tooth gear. From each of the gears is a drive rod going to a pen. It takes 40 revolutions to get back to A.
