Trossen Robotics runs a monthly contest to encourage interesting and innovative robot-related projects. The winning entry this month (September) is an art piece called White Lies, a mysterious robot painting machine housed in old sewing cabinet that paints as you approach and touch it. First place winners of the contest get a $200 Trossen Robotics gift certificate.
