There is no point in passing further praises upon the SENSELESS DRAWING BOT#2, there being little doubt that it excites people of all ages through the very action of moving and shooting out paint. That is quite enough in itself and demands first-hand experience. But if I am forced to add some further comment, perhaps I would go as far as to say that this machine is the embodiment of "Hope". It is the shape of hope in the present tense, served by a fire of color. The internet has long lost its promise of freedom, becoming an inhospitable space populated by those who insist on a misplaced sense of justice, against which we have lost the spirit to fight. In times like this, it would seem that the only effective way to regain hope is to boldly yet obediently call upon an animal-like force. And at this moment the very incarnation of such a force may be found within this BOT.
