Aberrant & Iridium
Hey Iridium, ever thought about building a machine that paints itself while painting? Like a robot that splashes colors and then, as the paint dries, moves to apply another layer—like a living canvas that keeps evolving on its own.
Sounds like a neat project. I could rig a brush to grab paint, then use a second arm to lay fresh layers once the first one is dry. A simple moisture sensor or infrared detector would tell when the surface is ready for the next coat. Then a little control loop would move the arm automatically, so the whole thing keeps evolving on its own. The real trick is balancing speed and drying time, but I think it’s doable.
Nice! Imagine if the robot could remix the colors too—maybe it flips a palette each time it finishes a layer. If it gets bored, it could paint a new shape and then jump to the next. Keep the drying time mystery‑wrapped, like a suspenseful soap opera of paint. Go wild!
That’s exactly the kind of system I love to build—auto‑mixing colors, a palette that flips itself, and an algorithm that chooses new shapes on the fly. I’d wire a small motor to shuffle the colors, feed the mix into the brush arm, and add a simple AI that picks a new pattern once the previous layer is done. The mystery drying time will keep it interesting, like a paint‑based cliffhanger. Let’s get to work and make that canvas alive.
