Ok it's not exactly what you'd call compact, but perfect for the lazy or wannabe graffiti artist." Having just finished doing a bunch of painting in my house, I'd like to have one of those machines drop down over my house, and paint via program - maybe I can use as GBA SP as the control device.

...is wifi support and some kind of grappling hooks to attach this baby to any [preferably high-profile] concrete surface on the fly. this could very well be the evolutionary successor of graffitti [the medium, not the art form]. just imagine driving through the city at night and applying your own addition to some brain-dead consumer information billboards without prolonged exposure to the scene of crime. i for one have dreamed countless times about adding the simple character sequence '...not!' to quite a lot of messages i am exposed to on a daily basis.
